MEDIA REVIEWS
'Her best book since Azkaban'- Evening Standard
'Here,she has given us her Christmas Carol, and the result is a triumph. The clarity,warmth,sympathy and propulsion of her stories are exactly what a child enjoys. Above all,she is a mistress of suspense. When the climax came,in a scene where Jack must choose between hope and despair,I burst into tears.'- Amanda Craig
