Review:

Five-laughs-a-page, fall-off-the-chair funny. -- Mail on Sunday * Mail on Sunday * An exciting, funny story that you don't want to put down. -- Jemima Simm, aged 11 * First News * A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart. -- Sunday Telegraph * Sunday Telegraph * Funny, engaging and in the end rather moving. -- Charlie Higson * Guardian *
