Review

'Part His Dark Materials with echoes of some of Harry Potter's darker moments, Paul Bryers takes the reader on a page turning ride that is as enthralling as it is fantastic.' -- The Book Bag 'A gripping, fascinating tale told by a master of his art, the prose flows easily and naturally, punctuated with flashes of dark humour, and always retaining an earthy reality, no matter how fantastic the scene.' -- Teach Primary 'a fabulous book' -- Lancashire Book of the Year 2009 nomination Praise for Paul Bryers:'As a storyteller Bryers is superb' -- Time Out 'Bryers imagines a world where superstition and science intertwine until finally, in the chilling climax, they merge' -- Publishers Weekly 'Bryers may well be the best of his type now operating' -- Nick Hornby, Sunday Times 'Bryers treats what looks like over-familiar territory with freshness, wit and a lively appreciation of a city's dark history' -- The Guardian

Excellent story from a very talented writer. This is a sort of supernatural thriller for teens, very enjoyable. Looking forward to the second instalment.
