Review
`A spirited thriller, written with Winterson's characteristic rich and evocative prose'
--The Daily Mail
`[The Battle of the Sun] makes for the perfect distraction . . . it is both lyrical and richly inventive' -- Daily Mail The Telegraph
`Reading this book is like sitting entranced before a flickering series of magic lantern slides . . . Winterson takes her young readers on an exhilarating journey through Elizabethan London . . . the exuberant storytelling and wit are beautifully and unobtrusively grounded by psychological truth-telling . . . a marvellous book for both young and old readers - I look forward to the third in the series which is surely promised by the tantalising conclusion'
--Books for Keeps
'Very contemporary, pacey and imaginative' --Teen Titles Magazine
`If you want true literary genius, read Jeanette Winterson's young-adult novels, a stunning new facet of her career which began with Tanglewreck. They're too clever for me to summarise'
--Guardian
`A wonderful book to read aloud to pupils in both KS2 and 3, as the language captures the essence of oral storytelling . . . The quality of the writing carries the reader through the book with ease, a joy'
