Editorial Reviews

"Carnegie medal winner McGowan is superb at stories about children who do not have all the advantages. In this succinct and poignant rite-of-passage story he gets inside the head of Matthew, a school outcast whose mother is not always up to the job of mothering. It carries you irresistably with him from first to last." --Sunday Times

"This is an emotionally charged story that unflinchingly tackles very challenging themes of poverty, neglect and bullying. Yet it is also full of hope as Matthew finds that friendship and change can be found in unexpected places. Matthew is brave in his choices, though he perhaps doesn't entirely think them through - but this of course makes them all the more relatable and understandable." --BookTrust

"A multilayered tale of loss and renewal with elements both topical and universal." --Kirkus Reviews on Dogs of the Deadlands
