He manages to touch on so many pertinent themes all in the context of an adventurous fantasy sci-fi story. Well done!' – Becky Parker, ProAudio Voices'For people who like thrillers, people who like horror, and people who want to read wild chase scenes with plucky heroines (and a dog). ' – Kater Cheek, author of the Kit Melbourne series'Of interest to teens or readers who enjoy stepping back into the world where firing an F-bomb across your parents’ bows is radical rebellion and a single kiss can rock your world....The book’s action-packed, short chapters make it a fast, easy summer read.' - New Myths 3
