Another brilliant book from Jonathan Stroud! [...] The Notorious Scarlett & Browne is has everything I want from a teen/YA fantasy adventure: action-packed, fast-paced, with quippy dialogue, intriguing mysteries and plenty of creepy moments - the sort of book that you can't help but fly through! * NetGalley * Pleasingly violent, sprinkled with some brilliant nuggets of very dry humour and perfect for its target audience of readers 12 and over, this is a book which will thrill them when it is released on July 7th, making this an ideal read for the summer break. * NetGalley * I love Jonathan Stroud's books. The sarcastic humour running through his stories really appeals to me. * NetGalley * Humorous, nail-biting and rich in unexpected turns of phrase, this is beautifully constructed storytelling of the first order. * Sunday Times *
