About the author

Sam Gayton lives and writes in a basement, where the spiders are big and hungry. He works at a primary school in Kent. The Snow Merchant is his first book. Now it’s finished he’ll go and write another one. He can’t tell you anything except for the first line: I can’t outrun the horses.

Reviews

[Ian McHugh · Rating 4 out of 5]

An enjoyable tale of heroes and time travel. A little complex in places with all of the back-and-forth through time. A valuable internet/e-mail safety lesson woven into the story here and it is not at all clunky like some ‘warnings’ can be.
