Review:
"With an epic journey, dramatic setting and a host of terrifying monsters, there's a thrill on every page." * Booktrust, Richard and Judy Book Club * "Like Eoin Colfer, Derek Landy and Garret Carr, it is full of Irish wit, dystopian vision and musicality, merging three genres (SF, hard-boiled detective story and the Wild West) within a children's novel. Extremely funny and utterly bonkers." * The Times * "I can't remember a book that so successfully merges two completely different genres so convincingly, and engagingly . . . I can easily recommend it." -- John Lloyd * TheBookbag.co.uk * "A romping cowboy story with a difference, this is entertaining, action pack adventure set in a richly imagined fantasy world." -- Julia Eccleshare * Lovereading * "Selected for the Blue Peter Book Club" * Blue Peter Book Club *
