I loved the Jack Stalwart series right from the first book . . . Can these keep coming, please? I love it! It's like Anthony Horowitz for the younger reader

The Jack Stalwart books have been a great weapon in the bookseller's armoury for hooking reluctant readers. Now re-launched, they are set to reach a much wider audience of young readers who want a piece of the secret-agent action

This series is the 'must read' of the summer. The books' travel-based themes also make them ideal for holiday reading

Paul Adam's Escape From Shadow Island . . . hits all the right notes for a rip-roaring adventure

Fights, flights and regular plot twists

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

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
