"The book is fairly good it has it's twists and turns and you never know what could happen. I enjoyed this book because of the mystery and the two characters telling the story. The first character was called Link and he was forced out of his home by his mum's boyfriend 'Vince' and became homeless and started his dangerous (he doesn't know it yet) and exciting life. The second character Shelter (thats what he calls himself) Is an ex army officer and has his own way of cleaning up the streets of London." — Abby (4 out of 5 stars)

" Quite a good 1, read over 4 hours&3 cups of tea. "
" If you're 12, have SEN, and have never read another book before, you might like this (or at least the fact that it contains the word 'arse'). It left me stone cold. "
" It was part of an English project in my year 8 class. Honestly this book in my opinion wasn't that good, plus the ending was a little rushed, I wouldn't recommend you read this unless most books on the planet were abducted by aliens. "
" Great read for young readers...it follows the homeless, frightened and alone kids on the street,on the streets of London, but homeless kids are going missing, what has happened to them?? "
" Forced to read it at school in my english class. It was ok. Not my sort of thing, but it was ok. "

" I read this book at school and it has the most amazing and shocking insight into the homeless...one of my favourite educational books I must say! "
" Awesome! It is the play I am doing in school, and I love it! is is interesting! "
" Great book, absolutely loved it. Hooked me from the beginning even though I think it had a slow start. The insight into homelessness is amazing, even taking out the whole shelter killer plot - which added suspense and thrill. Great book! "
" Great book for young adults. Not too difficult, not too easy for young readers. It does a lot of exciting stuff with POV and there are lots of activities on emotive writing that go very well with this book. "
" A boy is kicked out of his home by a new stepfather and must make it as a street person in London where other street people are mysteriously disappearing. "

" How do you read it? "
" read this for my english literature course in school, was quite good "
