Reviews

First in a gripping and original sci-fi trilogy, pitched for fans of Rick Riordan and Suzanne Collins. * The Bookseller *
What a fantastic book! I loved reading this, it was so exciting I wish I could read it again for the first time! -- Reader, Age 11 * Toppsta *
This was a fast paced and action packed read. I would suggest that it was for children over the age of 9, however I think younger children would enjoy it if it was read to them. I loved the whole gamer concept of this book and havent come across many books with the same plot line. -- Teacher * Toppsta *
If any book can get between kids and their screens, its this one. * i News *
