Reviews / Votes
`A novel with frightening possibilities for its adolescent readers (who face a future where these issues must be solved), and one that should be required reading for the adults who currently make the decisions.'

`I think Unique was intriguing and made me want to keep on reading to find out what would happen next.'
Pupil at Larkmead School, Abingdon
`This book stands out from others because of its originality and unbelievably realistic thoughts and actions! It has become one of my ultimate favourites and I am sure it will be for others who enjoy dramatic stories with ups and downs. Its short chapters build up more suspense and make it impossible to put down. Unique is the kind of book you would immediately recommend to a friend before having even finished it!'
Clea, Ecole Active Bilingue Jeanine Manuel
`I really loved this page-turner and, as the title says, it's a 'unique' one.'
