Pacy, clever and entertaining with a surprising denouement

Engaging fantasy . . . Treads assuredly the line between thrills and laughs

There is a unique quality about the moment when one slips into a dream. Theresa Breslin catches it beautifully in this delightful novel

An exhilarating read with much to ponder over - it plays with images and reversals, shifts in time, dream and reality, and with the elusiveness of these concepts in an entertaining way while also expounding the value of trust and friendship

Wonderful stuff
