Conways beautifully written and sensitive novel is as complex as its Tangled title, blending important early adolescent concerns with a captivating, moving story that entertains whilst gently doling out plenty of good advice. * Lancashire Evening Post *
A book that contains many emotions. But it was definitely an un-put-down-able one... I am going to recommend this book to all of my friends. * Daisy Theobald, age 11, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
A great book which has been sensitively written. * The School Librarian *
A lot of twists and turns, I couldn't put it down, it made me want to read more and more... I loved this book, it deals with many difficult emotions in a sensitive way. * Lily Benner, age 9, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
A mixture of comedy, mystery and sadness, also, on a scale of one to ten, I would definitely give 'Tangled Secrets' a ten! * Lucy Pack, age 10, for lovereading4kids.co.uk *
