Praise for Sara Sheridan and other works:
'...the books are written by proven teenager writers and are fast moving, straightforward and appealing.' - Inform
'a thriller for a new generation . . . Sara Sheridan will go far' - Harpers & Queen
'in a genre where we usually find polemic, melodrama or worthy-but-predictable tragedy, Sheridan has written a proper, character-driven novel... a pessimistic exploration of how ordinary and even good people, once locked into a certain mind-set, can do blatantly evil things yet think them good and right... so well written you never notice the writing' - Glasgow Herald

Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
