Recensione:
A thought-provoking, Pullmanesque adventure set in two worlds (The Times)
There are no bounds to Prue's imagination and invention and this is the first of an interlocking series of stories, so much fun and many thrills to come. (Adèle Geras)
This delightful fantasy puts one in mind of the early work of Diana Wynne Jones with its light touch, quirky humour and brisk pace that avoids making heavy weather of the mechanics of parallel worlds, whilst at the same time exploring the complex nature of different forms of truth. It should be an absorbing read for both girls and boys of nine and up. (School Librarian)
[Of Cold Tom]: 'This is one of those rare, strange, wonderful books that makes you see the world through different eyes (The Guardian)
This is an excellent book. It is gripping and exciting - you never want to put it down! (The Sunday Express)
An outstanding debut novel (The Sunday Times)
So compelling it almost defies description (Manchester Evening News)
