But when the bombs begin to fall, it is up to Joseph to guard Adonis’ cage should it be damaged by a blast. Will Joseph be ready to pull the trigger if it comes to it?

This diary is the property of Snow White. Strictly speaking, I'm not supposed to keep a diary. No fairytale characters are. It's the unwritten rule of the land. And now I know why: because life here is so unlike anything people in the real world have been led to believe. Once it's finished, I'll have to find a hiding place for it. But if you're holding it now, it means it's been found, and the truth about my life can finally be revealed.

Utter brilliance
Maz Evans' books have become a staple for long car journeys in our family. Loved by 8 and 12 year old children and equally so by their mother! Moments of snorting laughter mixed with poignancy and all bound in a truly terrific story. Fast paced and full of unexpected twists. What more can I say? Brilliant!!

Bit of a letdown
Really enjoyed the first book, but this was nonstop emotional drama with a lot of repetition. Sadly the girl protagonist turned from interesting to a stereotype, which really is depressing in children's books. I'm hoping for an improvement in the next instalment, this was a real letdown from such a lovely start.

This whole series is fantastic. The characters are both hilarious and, at times, poignant and the story romps along at a cracking pace. My 10 year old LOVES it & has listened about 6 times. Maz Evans reading is utterly brilliant and she brings so much life and humour to it. Her timing is impeccable; a real joy.
