Nikki Gamble, The Bookseller 'Tense, quirky and highly individual, this story has plenty going for it.' Nicholas Tucker, TES 'A deft construction — McNish vividly portrays two worlds in the light of each other, creating a thin space between them that makes for a moving and thought provoking tale.' Huw Thomas, BOOKS FOR KEEPS 'A fascinating read.' Carousel 'This neat combination of teen angst and behavioural ethics is — complex and charged.' The Daily Telegraph 'What a book. I simply couldn't put it down ... a highly charged look at personal spirituality... the writing is effortless and elegant and as it slips between character perspectives, Angel never loses an air of authenticity. And at moments, it reaches the sublime. I loved it.'
