'Praise for 15 Days Without a Head: 'This heartfelt well-told debut is a delight.' The Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week. (1 January 2012) 'Nicolette Jones, Sunday Times''Cousins' sheer inventiveness coupled with Laurence's sparky voice, keeps the story from becoming depressing or worthy.''Suzi Feay, Financial Times''A tough, charged . gripping story.' 'Julia Eccleshare, Lovereading4kids''Incredible lightness of touch and humour but also seriously weighty . reminded me a lot of Frank Cottrell Boyce.' 'Anthony McGowan''An excellent debut.

It's a tough and turbulent tale of growing up the hard way, but there's heart and soul on every page. I can't wait to see what Cousins does next.''Keith Gray, the award-winning author of Ostrich Boys''Unputdownable . a jewel of a book.' 'Candy Gourlay''Some books you read and find entertaining. And some books you read and never forget. This is one I will have in my mind for a long time.' 'PaulaSHx, blogger''I want to put this book in every teenager's hand.
