"Few writers can sustain a plot as well as Malorie Blackman"
*Sunday Telegraph*
"The danger of being sucked into and destroyed by this violent
world is brilliantly handled by Blackman . . . Blackman hangs an
old story on a modern frame with terrific resonance"
*Inis*
"Blackman gets people, especially young adults, in all their
tentativeness, determination and energy. She gets humanity as a
whole, too. Most of all she writes a stonking good story"
*Carousel*
"This is a highly intelligent thriller with important things to
say, and once again the distance between Blackman's imagined world
and present-day inner city is beautifully judged. It deserves, and
will find, a wide teenage readership"
*The School Librarian*
"It fizzes with strong emotion and grips with its authenticity, a
highly-skilled piece of writing by a writer with all the right
instincts . . . Gutsy, spot-on and relevant . . . and shocking too.
A great read"
*Chichester Observer*
