Spring-Heeled Jack Reviews

"A Victorian escapade which will be welcomed, indeed chortled over, by anyone subtle enough to relish the Beano . . . High melodrama, driven by anarchic, breathless plots . . . Print is interspersed with illustrations-plus-speech-bubbles which you must read to stick with the story" * TES *
"A fantastic adventure which will have even reluctant readers hiding under the cover with a torch" * Sunday Express *
"A masterly storyteller" * Independent Weekend *
"A gripping story written in words and cartoons" * Recent Children's Fiction *
