From the ancient brochs, to the gorgeous wild ponies, to the enormous skuas, the raw splendor of the Shetland Islands comes alive in this mystery. Tregenza brilliantly harnesses the charm of wonder of this magical setting and wraps it around an exciting adventure. Young readers will be easily drawn into solving the puzzle with Jack and Izzie.' -- Peggy Tibbets - Midwest Books - USA
'A fast-paced whodunnit ... the denouement is mighty good.'-- Mary Blance, BBC Radio.
'This is Enid Blyton with iPods
and lashings
of Coke. Sharon Tregenza takes all that is good about classic action
books for children and gives us a modern version set in Shetland. If any
teachers are reading this - it would make a great class text.' --Valerie
Watt, The Shetland Times.
