"Brilliant ... a total pageturner... gloriously produced" Jacqueline Wilson "Completely absorbing ... The book is beautiful - lavishly illustrated by Dave McKean, with words and pictures working seamlessly together." -- Julia Eccleshare Guardian "This is fabulous, high-octane stuff, with an uplifting ending, stunningly illustrated by the brilliant McKean" -- Sally Morris Daily Mail "Breathlessly paced ... A powerful story of great scope and ambition, from an expert storyteller. And with these gorgeously deep black-and-white illustrations, the great McKean is on absolutely top form here." -- Daniel Hahn The Independent on Sunday "A big (and big-hearted) story ... Said's child-centred, inclusive text and McKean's gorgeous images combine to produce a story that will encourage young imaginations to take flight. The final sequence, in particular, is both stunning and uplifting." -- Linda Buckley-Archer Guardian
