The emotions of real families have always been [McKay's] forte, but in this evocative novel she makes something fantastical happenSunday Times

There is always drama in her books, but she is too confident a writer to feel the need to shatter any teacups – and unusually for a children's author, many of her tales have no obvious villain.The Telegraph - Best Books of the Year
