From the moment I started this book I could not put it down. Just when I thought I knew what was coming next a new twist developed.

Couldn't put it down

Reviewed by Ronan Doherty from Belfast

This is not my usual choice of book but looked intriguing and decided to take a chance. Now i'm delighted that i did. I read this book non-stop until the end as I couldn't bear not to know what happened next. The story keeps you absorbed until the very end with surprising twists and turns throughout. You never know what to expect next and just as you think you've figured out the story it turns again and keeps you in suspense. Definately my best read of the year. Would recommend it to everyone.

Guarding Maggie - Superb

Reviewed by Paul O'Brien from Waterford

I got this book and started to read and read - I just could not put it down. I had to continue on to the end to discover Maggie's fate in one sitting. The book is a rollercoaster of emotions - it had me laughing aloud and almost in tears in equal measures. Maggie Breslin is a character that anyone can empathise with and understand instantly - you are immediately in her corner after a few pages and support her throughout. If I had to read only one book this year, then Maggie has my vote.
