'This book is a joy to hold as a great deal of care has gone into its production, and even more of a joy to read. Joan Lingard has a stellar reputation and the moment you start reading the door closes and you are in the story.' -- Books for Keeps 'This book is quite mysterious, yet adventurous as there is detective work. For me it really felt like I was there watching the action.' -- Kobe, Currie Community High pupil, Teen Titles 'I think the characters were interesting and I liked the connection between the two time-frames... This book would appeal to readers who like a bit of adventure.' -- Samuel, Currie Community High pupil, Teen Titles
