Geraldine McCaughrean

Marvellous fun and marvellously funny. Glorious bunch of characters, each with their own strength (and weakness) and bang-on believable chat. Even the scary bits head towards a good laugh. Lord of the Flies should have read like this - It would have stood up to examination just as well, and been hugely enjoyed by even the most disaffected student! It also illuminates, however briefly, a world beyond smart phones. Terrific.
