""This novel offers escapism and adventure alongside the reality of a teenager’s journey of self – discovery, as she faces the challenges of life: learning to find her voice and become a resilient individual. “What was broken may yet be re-written – I murmur”. An excellent, must read and I look forward to the next instalment in the trilogy."" Eluned Pickup – Senior Teaching Fellow University of Southampton – Deputy Head Teacher (Pastoral and Behaviour lead) ""It is written from a very deep understanding and response to the world of the young today who in their post Covid development need to create, need to feel, need to identify and belong. This is a powerful start to what promises to be a compulsive trilogy."" Stewart McGill – Consultant Director - Playbox Theatre ""It’s a true page-turner that will resonate with any young reader who has ever doodled in the margins of a notebook and wondered if those drawings might hold more power than anyone realised. I was captivated by the characterisation and the plot—and I can’t wait to find out what happens next!"" Sophie Knock – DSH, PCH, R.S Hom, Adv Prac BFVEA, BAFEP, BA Hons
