'A well-paced, entirely convincing mystery novel, full of suspense, wit and unexpected twists and turns. Beautifully written in a clear, accessible style with plenty of direct speech and detailed description, it is an excellent, gripping yarn for anyone over 9 years old.'-- School Librarian'This delightful, whimsical story will appeal to children of all ages. It is well written without being condescending, and the plot is unusual and quite gripping.' -- Stockbridge & New Town Independent'I thought the story was great. My favourite character was Jessie. I would definitely recommend it to my friends because it is such a good book. I would love to read another story about Jessie, Murdo and Fergus.

' -- Annie, age 8, Peebleshire, Scotland'A ripping yarn and beautifully plotted. A real boys-own adventure story.'-- Catherine Forde, author of Fat Boy Swim 'The story is a double mystery concerned digital watches going backgwards and missing cats in a setting with lots of local detail. What starts out to be a bit of fun sono develops in to a dangerous adventure. I really enjoyed the plot and would recommend it to younger readers.'-- Hannah, Broughton High School'I really enjoyed this book. My favourite part was when Fergus was climbing up the wall, and was caught by the home-owner. I think I would probably enjoy another Mike Nicholson's books.

'-- Rachael, Teen Titles'I liked it because it was a mystery but it was also quite funny. I would recommend the book to anyone.'-- Emma, Teen Titles.
