'An exciting story, a detailed and authentic historical background and even a touch of traditional legend. What more could anyone ask for?' -- Mary Moffat, The Historical Novels Review '... this is based on historical fact and gives an excellent sense of the period. The language of the people of the north east is effectively rendered, but does not create a barrier to the reader.' -- Treasure Island: A guide to Scottish fiction for young readers aged 10-14, Summer 2003 'This fast-moving thriller, set at one of the crucial moments in Scotland's history, is bound to be a big hit with young readers - and no doubt a few adults also!' -- Stewart Peterson, Greenock Telegraph 'A new edition of an award-winning classic children's tale which will appeal to younger readers today.' -- The Scots Magazine, May 2008
