Critics Review

“What They Don’t Know is an intriguing tale and more. There is a voyeuristic twist that will rivet the attention of even the most impatient adolescent reader. Those who have read Griffin and Sabine will recognize the guilty pleasure in reading a story in which we are encouraged to peer furtively at another person’s secret writings.” – Books in Canada

“Horrocks doesn’t hold back in the glimpse she allows us of the dark alleys waiting for teens determined to find them.” – The Edmonton Journal

“Told by her older sister, Kelly, Hannah’s gripping story is a nail-biting page-turner right from the opening paragraph.” – Canadian Book Review Annual

“Anita Horrocks is a promising new novelist, able to combine a suspenseful plot with a thoughtful, sometimes poetic, exploration of the concerns and anxieties of teenage readers… A compassionate and gripping story.” – Quill and Quire
