The One Safe Place

Reviews / Votes

I loved how the story, almost subconsciously, tackled more than one issue underneath its outer layer * GUARDIAN CHILDREN'S BOOKS * This book has echoes of Cormac McCarthy's The Road and in many ways, although clearly aimed at the teenage market, is as compelling as an adult read. Written in a simple, almost matter-of-fact style which fits the subject matter very well and with a satisfying ending, it's a very believable story and an excellent debut for Tania Unsworth. * WE LOVE THIS BOOK * Wonderfully original, a little sinister, this debut is a cracker * THE SUN * ... an unputdownable read that had me gripped from the opening scene, and ultimately left me feeling grateful that this dystopia is a fictional one * THE BOOKBAG * The world that you explore as you read - yes, reading this book is like walking through this world, excellent writing - is quite terrifying. * TEA PARTY PRINCESS *
