Infinite Sky was Editor's Pick in
The Bookseller!
This is what they said: "Another strong debut with huge support in-house, this is a heartbreaking coming-of-age novel about a summer that changes everything. She's one to watch."
In case it isn't clear, when they write, 'she's one to watch', they're talking about me.
Also, Julia Eccleshare (Children's Editor of The Guardian) wrote this about the book on
LoveReading4Kids:
"Shot through with danger as adolescence can be, this is a powerful coming of age novel which combines dark realities with optimism and naivety. When Iris’s mother takes off on a road trip, things at home begin to fall apart. The arrival of a family of travellers close by sets off a chain of events which leads to tragedy. But Iris sees Trick and his family differently; she knows he isn’t the boy his is made out to be. But, when everything spirals out of control, will she ever be able to feel the same about him? Beautifully written, this is a poignant story of young love from a talented new author."
