Review
'City of Masks is a poignant, touching and exciting novel without doubt a masterwork of contemporary children's literature.' Edgardo Zaghini, Booktrust Of City of Stars: 'A fabulous story of power, intrigue and flying horses. This is story-telling at its best.' Bookseller Of City of Flowers: 'I was barely allowed to finish it before my god-daughter snatched it away with breathless anticipation. "It's so real!" she drooled.' Independent 'An absolute triumph. Writing like this makes a parallel situation appear in the mind as more real than reality itself.' School Librarian
