Gripping

This and Susan Price's two other novels, Ghost Drum and Ghost Song, are compelling for both adults and kids. They are bleak, there is cruelty and the outcomes are not straightforward, but I have used these books in classrooms with children aged between 10 and 12 and the class was totally engaged throughout, despite language difficulties. Susan Price is a thoughtprovoking writer with a style which works like a Shaman's spell on the reader. I cannot recommend them too highly as introductions to the darker aspects of human nature. Terrific.
