MEDIA REVIEWS
'Emma Carroll is the Hilary Mantel of children's fiction,belting out the sort of elegant,informative historical novels that scoop up awards and feature on every school reading list. She is a natural storyteller who wears her research lightly,champions the boy or girl next door and keeps her plots moving at a breakneck pace. If your children have not read her,they have some catching up to do: this is her fifth historical novel in two years.'The Telegraph
