Reviews

Desire Lines has both depth and meaning and explores the more serious side of life in an accessible, interesting way

—— Teen Titles

A powerful and compelling book.

—— Children's book News Ireland

It is moving and memorable. . . Most of all, it is the analysis of Walker's own self-doubt, anxiety and pain that makes this such a raw if depressing novel

—— David Self , TES

A darker, older read, which encompasses good, evil, resistance to temptation, homophobia and the collapse of civilisation . . . written in a prose as assured as Scott Fitzgerald's

—— Michael Thorn , Scotsman

Reminiscent of Cormier

—— Inis

A well-crafted, thoughtful and enjoyable book

—— The School Librarian
