My 11 year old daughter, EJ, had the pleasure of reading this book so I coerced her into sharing her thoughts with me here 🙂

What did you enjoy most about this book?
I really enjoyed the different way of revealing the story with the comics, illustrations and the different fonts and print size which entertained me and left me hanging out to discover the next page.
What about the plot?
G.P. Taylor has written a story full of action and mystery. I devoured the story and was even worried for the characters as they tried to hide from the bad guys. The author alternates between what is happening to Sadie and Eric as they venture out to find Saskia, and Saskia herself. There was never a dull moment as things were happening all the time to all of them. For me, the characters came alive really well and that made it easy to relate to them although I have never been in their situation before! I would recommend this book to people who want a satisfying chapter book with the added bonus of Graphic elements, which give the book a movie like feel.
Thanks EJ!
