Where Cuckoos Call (15 page)

Another edge-of-seat page-turner.
Reading Time

A haunting and intriguing story.
Animals’ Voice

…a real page-turner avoiding obvious plotlines and neatly capturing modern-day “tween” sensibilities.
NorthSouth

I couldn’t put the book down…it would be ideal for reading aloud.
Hauraki Herald

This is a fast-paced mystery-adventure that children will love and find a great read that they can’t put down.

Tomorrow’s Schools Today

A strong plot and interesting and credible characters… A definite “need to read”.
Marlborough Express

A really good read that touches on a variety of themes…a good story line with an interesting plot, strong believable characters, New Zealand content and plenty of page-turning adventure to keep readers interested.
The Saturday Express

A thrilling mix.
Otago Daily Times

This is an exciting read that is so very New Zealand you can just about smell the bush.
