Reviews

Hilarious, yet serious about the environmental issues

—— Guardian

A gross-out plot likely to appeal . . . A satisfyingly different kind of adventure book for kids

—— Inis

Aquatic high jinks in this entertaining ecological tale of responsibility and revenge

—— The Bookseller

With real villainy and real right and wrong issues but told in convincingly involving, over the top manner

—— The School Librarian

Flush is pacy and amusing. It will entertain readers with a sense of justice, a concern for the environment and an understanding that the simplest and whackiest ideas are often the best

—— Writeaway!

A compelling, compulsive, atmospheric story . . . The movie is already rolling in my head

—— Niall MacMonagle , Irish Times

Zips along at break-neck pace, each short, action-packed scene feeding into the next, ideal for teen readers with Playstation attention spans . . . McGann's direct, gritty style of writing certainly packs a punch

—— Sarah Webb , Irish Independent
