"Brilliant . . . a total pageturner. . . gloriously produced" * Jacqueline Wilson *
"Completely absorbing . . . The book is beautiful - lavishly illustrated by Dave McKean, with words and pictures working seamlessly together." -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *
"This is fabulous, high-octane stuff, with an uplifting ending, stunningly illustrated by the brilliant McKean" -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
"Breathlessly paced . . . A powerful story of great scope and ambition, from an expert storyteller. And with these gorgeously deep black-and-white illustrations, the great McKean is on absolutely top form here." -- Daniel Hahn * The Independent on Sunday *
"A big (and big-hearted) story . . . Said's child-centred, inclusive text and McKean's gorgeous images combine to produce a story that will encourage young imaginations to take flight. The final sequence, in particular, is both stunning and uplifting." -- Linda Buckley-Archer * Guardian *
