The Sunday Times
"Cleverly put together . . . funny as well as gripping. Very short chapters and Swindells' tight hold on suspense makes this a particularly good choice for 11- to 13-year-old reluctant readers."
School Library Journal
"Suspense sprinkled with schoolgirl humor enlivens this fast-paced story to its final twist."
