Critics Review
“Utterly gripping, honest and courageous… . We need more books like this.”
My 13-year-old son read the book obsessively through the night and was so deeply moved that he woke me at 3am to tell me. To keep a teenage boy awake all night, Gibbons must be one amazing storyteller. - The Times on Caught in the Crossfire
