Review

Praise for Auslander: `Dowswell is one of the best new writers of historical fiction for children . . . [Auslander] steps outside the victim culture of novels such as those by Morris Gleitzman and comes close to classics such as The Silver Sword' * The Times * `This gripping and dramatic story is well-placed to conquer any prejudice that teenage readers might have against historical novels . . . a powerful and compelling story' * School Librarian * Praise for The Cabinet of Curiosities: `This is one of the most enjoyable, breathtaking, historical books I have read and gives a real feel for the time period in which it is set. I recommend this book for teenagers and adults' * South Wales Argus * `A gripping read which I thoroughly recommend' * First News *
