Rundell is an astonishing young talent and her books combine old-fashioned, edge-of-your-seat adventure with richly imagined characters ... Read everything she writes * Daily Mail *
Katherine Rundell might be the cleverest children's writer working today ...

[a] children's book that wipes the floor with most adult novels * This week in audio, Guardian *
