Out of Shadows
by Jason Wallace
'Excellent. [Out of Shadows is] the latest lacerating addition to the boarding-school-as-living-hell genre ... read on if you have the courage. The author attended a similar establishment at the age of 12, and gives every indication of knowing exactly what he is writing about.'
Independent
Elmer's Special Day
by David McKee
'The first Elmer book seemed like a great and original one-off, McKee's extraordinary imagination and colourful art have between them maintained originality and delight over all these years: amazing.' Chris Brown, School Librarian
