" Anne Fine has been writing books since I was a small kid and she is a remarkable writer. This story is sad, tragic and gripping. It is perfect for anyone to read and it gets my vote to be in the crossover genre. It's a real page turner and really makes one think about the upbringing of a child, the social conditions they live in and how it can affect their life and behaviour. This was inspired by the Jamie Bulger case and although the crime commited isn't as terrible it really makes you think. "
