Mary Arrigan grew up in the small Irish town of Newbridge in County Kildare, where the highlight of the week was the visit to the library. She taught art for 18 years before starting to write for children. She was awarded the International Youth Library (Munich) White Ravens title in 1997, the Bisto Merit Award in 2000 and has also won The Sunday Times Crime Writers Association Short Story Award and The Hennessy Short Story Award.
The illustrations lend to the general atmosphere and Arrigan's perceptions of children's feelings are well expressed * Books for Keeps * Mary Arrigan can be relied upon to provide a spooky adventure . . . Fast moving with plenty of surprises * Independent on Sunday * A perfectly accomplished novel that has the whiff of Skellig about it. Well done Red Fox! -- Shaun Traynor * The Irish Post *
