Reviews

[Connor Foster-Nesbit · Rating 5 out of 5]

an enjoyable book with a surprise, unpredictable and strange ending.

[Melissa · Rating 2 out of 5]

Had to read this book as part of working through all the novels we have on our shelves for classroom study. It was ok, would probably appeal to boys, and could be used to explore relationships, as well as believing in yourself.

[Nova · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another quick read about teenage angst. has some funny moments. would appeal to children aged 10-14
