The Ice Boy: 'A remarkable first novel ... here is a writer whom you can trust.' * Armadillo *

 

Ambergate: 'This is a beautiful, compelling novel.' * Guardian *

 

A haunting and psychological thriller * Bournemouth Daily Echo *

 

At one level this compelling, highly original novel is a fairly straightforward, simple story...At another level, it's a thoughtful metaphysical tale set in a strange, half-real, half-imagined world about quests, courage and learning who you really are...Elliott's writing is extraordinarily atmospheric * School Librarian *

 

Murkmere: 'Fraught with fenland mist and magic, this supernatural thriller ... is compassionate and original.' * The Times *

 

Compelling ... a salutary reminder to keep an eye on the children's bookshelves. * SFX magazine *

 

Very good but quite scary...it made you feel like you were in the story -- Jamie Clunie, Castlebrae Community High * Teen Tiles *

 

Elliott is one of [the Fidler Award's] worthiest winners. This atmospheric debut novel [is] heavy on Kleenex * The Glasgow Herald *
