Reviews
'Warmly written with plenty of action, you may well not want to put this book down!' READING TIME, August 2008
'This is a wonderful pre-teen, teenage girls story. Some adults, like me, will enjoy it also. It is exciting and fast paced with a completely unexpected ending. Rose's blog spot and her friend's comments [are] a wonderfully interactive technology twist - and one ironically which will bring a young adult reader back to the paper trail. Buy it for your daughter but be warned - you will be fighting over who gets to read it first!' THE READING STACK
