Critics Review

Powerful… this is a writer following in the footsteps of writers such as Westall, Brooks and Almond * Books for Keeps *The trauma of grief, the brutality of bullies, the magical realness of dreams, and the power of nature — this poetic triumph reveals we’re stronger than we think… With an urgent inferno of a climax suffused in magic and nature, the best of humanity glints through destructive flames to create a powerfully memorable story… Running with Horses brims with truths that light the way and warm the heart * LoveReading4Kids *
