“This matches a dystopian plot with a hugely engaging narrator … An unusual and very impressive debut.” – Fiona Noble The Bookseller “Haunting and compelling, with characters you really care for” – Vanessa Lewis The Bookseller “I loved it and I think you - whoever you are, whether you’re aged eight or eighty - will love it, too. Boy In The Tower comes highly recommended by me. I think it might even be my favourite story of 2014 so far.”
