A compelling story and beautifully written. Give this to a teenage girl and don't expect to see her until the last page has turned

A poignant coming-of-age story . . . this is perceptive and powerful storytelling

As always, Chambers writes with the fierce intelligence and honesty which distinguishes his work. If more novels of adolescence had this quality and seriousness, we wouldn't risk losing those readers who feel patronised by teenage fiction

—— Linda Newbery , TES Teacher

A complex book . . . resulting in a believable and inviting world
