REVIEWS:What a fantastic book! I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have three sons aged between 11 and 15 and they have all read this and thoroughly enjoyed it. It has also created great family discussion about a difficult topic. Well worth a read and one of the most well written books my children have read in a long time.A copy of this will make its way into the school library I work in!A wonderful and sensitively written story. I just couldnt put it down!Im not an avid reader and when I do I very rarely finish the book... With the exception of this belter! I felt like I was reading two completely different stories, both just as engrossing as the other, culminating in a fantastic finale that ties it all together. I cant recommend this read enough, regardless of age.If youre considering getting this book then dont hesitate BUY IT. I hope there will be a sequel one day. One of my best reads this year.What a book...Caroline writes in such a way that you get lost in amongst the pages and before you know it youve finished the book! An incredible authoress, fantastic book and a must to add to your basket.
