Anonymity is a strong, intelligent character who, in spite of having good reason to despair, doesn't dissolve into a whining puddle of self-absorbed misery. Instead, she deals with her problems with wit and courage. James Roy knows how to get into a teenager's headspace, and he paints the picture with deft strokes and vibrant colours. His work is a joy to read.
Good Reading
Loved it . . . the voice of Anonymity is pitch perfect. And as for her name – great for teachers to explore. I loved how [Roy] dealt with the ‘serious’ issues in such a quirky way, trusting the maturity of Anonymity to deal with it. And as for the hit and run ending – wonderfully subversive.

Anonymity Jones is wonderful. One of the best things I've read this year. Original and refreshing.
