"Simply wonderful - Katherine Rundell is a superb author." Philip Pullman

"Rundell literally drags readers into the whirlwind of a breakneck adventure. Her lavish descriptions will transport them to a magical world where they can swim with dolphins, taste tarantula and discover a ruined city. One of the most gifted children's writers today." Observer
