Reviews

Short chapters, clear, punchy writing and clever yse of cliffhangers are the hallmarks of Swindell's writing, here used to powerful effect to create a gripping, fast-paced read

—— Kate Agnew , Guardian

Swindells helps the suspension of disbelief with a careful leavening of information about the 1950s and enough action to keep the story moving along

—— Books for Keeps

Definitely not to be missed, there is much to think about in this one

—— The School Librarian

Robert Swindells writes the kinds of books that are so scary you're afraid to turn the page
