Reviews
Praise for Crossing the Line:
'An uncompromising exploration of the ruthless Darwinian world of teenagers. It's tough, rough-textured and assured, cynical where it needs to be, and demands respect' * Financial Times *
'Bleakly humorous, imbuing a difficult subject matter with warmth, intelligence and compassion' * Big Issue *
Praise for The Opposite of Amber:
'It's beautifully written, tense and absorbing, and we can't recommend it highly enough' * The Bookbag *
'Gillian Phillips just gets better and better. I suspect there is nothing she can't write about. And I suspect there is nothing I won't read if it's by Gillian' * Bookwitch *
