Format:Hardcover
tug has just been kidnapped and wakes up in a unknown house in the countryside of derbyshire. he is looked after by two terrorists from a organisation called the 'free people' and they pretend to be his parents and make out that they are his parents with him on holiday. tug is not sure who he is. meanwhile a kidnapping has happened in london and they beleive that liam shakespeare is being held in lond on but imogen slatteryu has different ideas. jinny beleives that phillip as the terrorists call him may be captured as she collects lots of evidence will she solve the mystery and free tug.read the book to find out. On the edge is an absolutely thrilling book full of description and totally action packed. i have just finished reading this book at school and i think it was a great choice. i would reccommend it to anyone over the age of 10 as there are some confusing parts. i think Gillian Cross has used all the great qualities and ingredients of a great mystery/thriller book and crammed them all in to form ON THE EDGE.
Thanks for reading

after the success of the demon headmaster, gillian's standards have dropped. This may be a clever book, but has lost her usually great storyline

On the Edge
7 May 2002
Format:Library Binding
I thought this book was adventurous. I enjoyed reading it because I would always be trying to guess what was going to go on in the next sentence. A woman was finding love in a boy that she kidnapped. She wanted to find love in a child that she did not have. There is a bond between the woman and the boy. In the end the boy has to make a very important decision in his life. Love or reality? Readers in the area between 12-15 would enjoy this book. Try it out.

Young Owners Review of On The Edge by Gillian Cross
7 April 2002
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I bought this book in my local library when I read the blurb. It sounded really exciting, and I couldn't wait to read it. I read it three times in the first week, and can remember extracts:
"I could die. Not in 100 years, or when I'm very old, but now. Today or tomorrow. In this room."
I couldn't put it down. It is thrilling, exciting and realistic. I would recommend it to teenagers who enjoy adventure stories, or want a break from your ordinary 'daily life of a normal person' book (Not that there's anything wrong with that type of book :) )

great suspense for middle-schoolers
3 Dec 1998
Format:Library Binding
An excellent treatment of individuals working to define themselves as unique from one's family while also being a product of the same. This suspense filled novel could be used in a classroom developing other topics of study including terrorism and principles, love and family. Will keep you on the edge.
