About the Author
Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully "deft and dark", Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier.

Reviews
"Landman brings her own voice to this classic: it never intrudes but instead selects and interprets ... An excellent introduction to a novel firmly rooted in the canon of literary greats. More, please!" - Books for Keeps
"Riveting, readable re-telling ... Tanya Landman's storytelling skills shine bright" - LoveReading4Kids
"It's a broiling, uncomfortable, morally ambiguous story and making it accessible to younger readers without comprimising its heart is a tremendous task and one that has been done with real brio" - The Letterpress Project
"This is a deeply respectful and intuitive retelling" - Bookwagon
"Not just the perfect gateway drug to what I think is the greatest English novel, but a brilliant book in its own right" - Anthony McGowan
