Critics Review
Pushing at the boundaries of what a page can do to realise his total vision, Steven Quincey-Jones has imagined the rainiest of clouds but never once forgotten its silver lining. This is a great, heaving surge of a book. I loved it.’

– Simon Fox, author of Running out of Time‘This is the kind of haunting, beautiful, heart-stopping book that will set children’s imaginations alight.’
– Tia Fisher, Carnegie winning author of Crossing the LineAbout The Author
