The print and layout is super-readable and the story and the pacey plot so thrilling even the most reluctant readers might find it hard to put down. I certainly couldn't. * Alex O'Connell, The Times * This book is the perfect combination of history and mystery for young adults and adults. Throwing up more questions than answers, it stays with you. I love the references to folklore and legend. KS3 parents, teachers and librarians looking for accessible, quality texts, with plenty of suspense and a dash of horror, this one is perfect in length and in its precision of language choices. * 5* Amazon review * Superb book, beautifully crafted. Beautiful sense of place and mystery, gripping human characters. So many books for young people are patronising, Sedgwick never is. He deals with important issues with such a light touch. * 5* Amazon review *
