"A fast paced sci-fi adventure ... The children I read this book to absolutely loved it - and moaned for more at the end of each session as I finished. This was a definite hit!" -- Books for Topics "Fast-paced and sinister ... will have readers on the edge of their seats" -- BookTrust "An unputdownable romp ... I read this in a single, breathless sitting" -- The Letterpress Project "A tremendously fun, weird and pacy read ... feels like a magnificent episode of the Twilight Zone or Doctor Who - one that stays with you for being so eerily strange it gives you goosebumps" -- Chris Soul
