Praise for this book
"A taut, compelling thriller and a modern-day spin on Lord of the Flies, exploring group behaviour and moral equivocation" --Financial Times (On DNA)
"A celebration of naughtiness and questioning, it's a raucous, skin-crawling treat" --The Guardian (On Our Teacher's a Troll) "A hilarious dark fable" --The Herald (On Our Teacher's a Troll) "A cast-iron understanding of the morally bankrupt way we live now" --Daily Telegraph (On Orphans) "In its examination of how stories are told, is an imaginatively realised and moving story" --The Guardian (On Taking Care of Baby) "Admirable in its ambition and daring, in its willingness to take on huge themes such as destruction and redemption" --Financial Times (On The Gods Weep)
