Reviews / Votes
'8-year old Pepper proves a tenacious, resourceful hero in his own drama. Immensely readable and sweetly told' -Marti Leimbach, author of Daniel Isn't Talking'A charming and touching story' -The Big Issue
'An engaging, highly readable and skilfully written novella. It generates a fine sense of shadowy jeopardy and builds to a satisfyingly tense climax. In Pepper it has a convincing young narrator who sees the world in his own very distinctive fashion' -Anthony Ferner, author of Inside the Bone Box
