What the critics say

Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy
- Guardian

Simply gripping story-telling
- The Times

For sheer green-eyed-monster writer's envy, I have to confess to wishing I'd been the author of The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents. Not only is it powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad, it is that rarest of things: a book that is heaven to read out loud to a pyjama-clad child

- Financial Times

Great yarn written in fairly simple text
- Liverpool Echo

Will take you on a fantastic journey . . . Wonderful, funny and gripping
- Kids Alive
