Recensioner i media

"There are many writers who can take you inside a nightmare. It takes Mal Peel to show you the way back out" – Frank Cottrell Boyce"A beautiful book … simple but profound" – Just Imagine"Peet pulls no punches in exploring the life and mind of a teen suffering from anxiety. The engaging, sparsely written narrative is suspensful and keeps the reader guessing all the way. Shoard's haunting, murky illustrations work perfectly. A super-readable, unnerving work that stands with the late Peet's best" – CBI, Recommended Reads
