The Kissing Game Reviews

Here's a rare treat. There is care and quality in all his books, and The Kissing Game is a smart, challenging collection that teenagers may find themselves reluctant to leave -- Patrick Ness * Guardian *
Short stories are the perfect vehicle to capture the intensity of emotion experienced by teenagers on the brink of adulthood and there couldn't be a more rewarding and contemporary volume than this . . . Provocative and beautifully written, this little book packs a hefty punch -- Sally Morris * Daily Mail *
Chambers has never lost that adolescent vulnerability and openness [so] that, now in his seventies, he still writes stories in which reflective adolescents will surely discover themselves . . . Five stars -- Geoff Fox * Books For Keeps *
Aidan Chambers offers thought-provoking short stories for older readers in The Kissing Game. Playful or intriguing, each provides food for thought as he explores the nature of betrayal and revenge - wonderful stuff -- Marilyn Brocklehurst * The Bookseller *
Classy, thought-provoking, witty and always provocative -- Jill Murphy * The Bookbag *
