MEDIA REVIEWS
"Few writers can sustain a plot as well as Malorie Blackman" Sunday Telegraph "The danger of being sucked into and destroyed by this violent world is brilliantly handled by Blackman...Blackman hangs an old story on a modern frame with terrific resonance" Inis "Blackman gets people,especially young adults,in all their tentativeness,determination and energy. She gets humanity as a whole,too. Most of all she writes a stonking good story" Carousel "This is a highly intelligent thriller with important things to say,and once again the distance between Blackman's imagined world and present-day inner city is beautifully judged. It deserves,and will find,a wide teenage readership" The School Librarian "It fizzes with strong emotion and grips with its authenticity,a highly-skilled piece of writing by a writer with all the right instincts...Gutsy,spot-on and relevant...and shocking too. A great read" - Phil Hewitt Chichester Observer
