Reviews
"I love this wonderful book. How does Mal Peet do so much in such a short space? It's engrossing, haunting, beautifully written." – DAVID ALMOND; "For some time now, Mal Peet has been the most elegant prose stylist in the world of young-adult fiction…one of the best novelists, full stop" – ANTHONY MCGOWAN; "It's likely to be the best children's book you will read this year … Peet is a profound storyteller and this haunting, moving story – sensitively illustrated by Emma Shoard's atmospheric ink drawings – reminds us what riches he left behind and what treasures we are missing." THE TIMES (CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE WEEK) "Engrossing, haunting and beautifully written" – David Almond "Emotional truth and tenderness … Told in simple language and illustrated with muted loveliness" – The Sunday Times "Wonderful writers like Mal Peet don’t need hundreds of pages or thousands of words to write a story that packs a unforgettable punch …Poignant and moving" – South China Morning Post
