Reviews

'A powerful exploration of the extraordinary power of friendship, both truthful and intense. It's that rare and wonderful thing: a thriller of the heart, written from the heart, that hits home straight to the heart' Melvin Burgess, Carnegie Medal winning author of Junk. 'Dazzling. Utterly gripping. Writing so fresh every chapter leaves you gasping for air and SO tautly plotted it hurts. If you're going to read one book about the true nature of friendship let it be EDEN SUMMER.' Brian Conaghan, Carnegie Medal shortlisted author of When Mr Dog Bites
