Charlie Higson recommends
Blood Beast (2007)
(Demonata, book 5)
Darren Shan
"Darren Shan deserves to be knighted... for getting boys to read."
Undead (2011)
(Undead , book 1)
Kirsty McKay
"A kick-ass teen-action-zombie fest. Fast, furious, freaky, funny and seriously sick. Oh, and did I mention it kicks ass?"
Beside the Syrian Sea (2018)
James Wolff
"Great characters, convincing detail and a compelling story. All too human MI5 desk jockey, Jonas, is no James Bond but he manages to stay one step ahead of his ex-employers, the CIA, Hezbollah, Isis and the reader right up until the final showdown in the desert."
The Haven (2019)
(Haven , book 1)
Simon Lelic
"What a cool idea. Modern street kids doing it for themselves and kicking adult butt."
Pop! (2021)
Mitch Johnson
"An exploding soda geyser of a book - an adventure story that will make you laugh, make you angry and make you want to do something to fix this crazy, messed up world."
