Recensioner i media

...when the books are written, as this series is, with strong credible characters and authentic settings, children are really transported to the period and place. The Flashbacks series are relatively short reads but gripping so keen readers will devour them and be looking forward to more. -- Sarah Brew www.parentsintouch.co.uk A powerful and evocative title in the re-launched 'Flashbacks' series...the introduction of difficult themes and characters...ensures there is much in this short novel that will engage the more mature young reader. It comes highly recommended. -- Steve Hird School Librarian magazine
