A bloodcurdlingly chilling story ... This heaven made marriage between a Carnegie winning author and an award winning illustrator ... The timeslipping plot is a complex though skilfully handled one, the characters real and sympathetic and the illustrations bold enough to bridge the comprehension and fluency gap ... There's no dumbing down in the language, or plotting, and the strong sense of place and of period seeps from the pages. .. Aimed at the 11+ but accessible to those with a reading age of 8. Ideal ... for reading aloud of for paired reading. * School Librarian *
Bowler is a very fine witer for teenagers ... [Blood on Snow] is strong on atmosphere and suspense and genuinely scary ... With its short sentences, accessible, familiar vocabulary and clearly defined dialogue, this is a book written specially for the reluctant or disaffected reader ... Illustrated by the equally talented Jason Cockcroft ... One to recommend to under-confident readers. * Books for Keeps *
