Another sad book from this author. I read Ways to Live Forever earlier this year and that was a moving and powerful book. This book was also moving - this time with a touch of magic intertwined with the story. I enjoyed it very much but not as much as the other book. I love this author's writing, but I hope she can show some versatility in her next book by not using death to tug at the emotions. Nevertheless a very good read.

This is one of the most sensitive,pages turning books for young people published this year. It deals with family tragedy, the sudden death of a mother and the impact on those left behind. The fantasy element is woven beautifully round the story. I am a school librarian,and my girls are reading it very quickly and recommending it to their friends.As a follow on from Ways to live for ever it is another triumph for Sally Nicholls!

Season of Secrets entwines the myth of The Green Man with Molly's story of loss and her new life with her grandparents in the country. Sally Nicholls' second children's novel is the best read since Skellig. I think of children's author, David Almond, as my soul author and I didn't think I'd ever find another children's author to match his writing.
Sally's first book, Ways to Live Forever won the Waterstone's Children's Book prize last year. I offered it to my teenage daughter to read and she declined saying, "I don't want to read any more books about dying!" But Ways To Live Forever is not just another book about dying, like Seasons Of Secrets, it's a book about being a child and all the magic and fear and sense of belonging and laughter and tragedy that childhood brings.
Sally Nicholls is the second of my soul authors and she has written her second brilliant Children's Book - I'll want to read everything she writes.

SEASON OF SECRETS
I read this book within 4 hours so it is not too long if you just want a short read.
This book was ok, maybe just not for my age group. Read more

That Difficult Second Novel...
Sally Nicholls's first book, 'Ways To Live Forever' is the best children's book of the Noughties so following it up was always going to be difficult. Read more

very beautifully written
This has the sort of deceptive simplicity that makes writing look so easy! Each observation or description is deftly chosen. Read more
