Critic Reviews
Praise for The Others by Sarah Merrett
'An action-packed and imaginatively powerful tale filled with wonder, lovable aliens, a dastardly professor and epic battles.'
Lancashire Evening Post
'Highly entertaining' Five stars ***** The Telegraph
'For those craving a voyage beyond the stars, this tale is an absolute orbit of wonder'
Scott Evans, The Reader Teacher
'Eerie and exciting- it will shock and surprise you. Like a middle-grade H.G.Wells!'
Kieran Larwood, The World of Podkin OneEar
'A compelling adventure. Reuben lives in an observatory where his grandma searches the heavens for extra-terrestrial life. But why must he wear sunglasses all the time? And where has the unconscious, luminous girl he finds come from? Thrilling stuff, brimming with empathy.'
Amanda Craig New Statesman
'A fantastical and unique historical sci-fi that shoots for the stars. Highly original, this is an adventure story that instantly grabs your attention: strange, celestial and enormously engrossing.'
