Set in 2066, this is a dystopian fiction suitable for younger teens. It stretches the rigours of possibility at times - bringing fantasy into reality a bit - but that does not matter for this age group. It does not over-stress the violence but definitely deals with the uncomfortable in a world where you are not permitted to be free. This book would particularly interest those living in Yorkshire and the North East of England.
There is a definite spiritual view of the world that is refreshing in a story about hope in a rotten society.

An honestly enjoyable book!
The worldbuilding is spectacular and the characters feel incredibly well fleshed-out, overall the book is well-written for the audience and genre. Would recommend.

It's cute for a children's book, but the supposed climax really wasn't that climactic.
