"Brock is both timeless and current, and simple but beautifully written." - Library Mice blog "a very nifty read with some beautiful scene-setting and after the violence some truly heart-warming moments between both the human and non-human characters. Loved loved LOVED it." - Bookauhu's Book Nook blog "Brock is about as lean as you can get, using simple, effective language to keep a great pace while maintaining atmosphere, tension, action, empathy... look, it's just brilliant." - Colin Mulhearn "The author has created a range of characters who are believable - in fact many are probably recognisable from our own lives. The chapters, are relatively short, making it an ideal book for readers who do not have a long attention span or who struggle with reading. However the sparseness and the simplicity of the writing do not detract from what is a good, although at times bleak, story" - BOOKS TEENS AND MAGAZINES "Superb book about the beauty of nature and power of love - loved the book, great stuff." - Litforlads blog "This is a book about raw courage with can be both heart-breaking and uplifting - The characters in this book are so genuine, I feel as if I know them - I loved this book and so did my eight year old son. We both read this book in one sitting, unable to put it down once we had started." - The Book Bag blog
