On the first Dread Wood book: This is Killick's best book yet; think 'The Breakfast Club' meets 'Stranger Things', making great use of her talent for comic dialogue and her astute eye for just the right kind of scary for this age group. Fiona Noble, Bookseller, Editor's Choice

On the first Dread Wood book: A heart-stopping thrill ride of a book. M.G. Leonard, author of Adventures on Trains series Sharp, scary and a whole lot of fun! Christopher Edge, author of Escape Room This is BRILLIANT! Creepy, pacy, smart, witty and just pure Jennifer genius. Vashti Hardy, author of Brightstorm This is Killick's best book yet; think 'The Breakfast Club' meets 'Stranger Things', making great use of her talent for comic dialogue and her astute eye for just the right kind of scary for this age group. Fiona Noble, Bookseller, Editor's Choice Dread Wood is the superb, super-scary and super-cool new horror-comedy story from the brilliant Jennifer Killick. After her last two books (the fantastically creepy Crater Lake and Crater Lake: Evolution), Jennifer has, yet again, upped the level of stylishly slick, sinister storylines and honed her clever range of shock / comedy techniques - from the laugh-out-loud, nose-snortingly funny moments, to the cheekily edgy asides, to the poignant warm-hearted, gentle, fun scenes she does so well. - ReadingZone (Book of the Day, February 16th) Spine-tingling, rib-tickling stuff. - Chris Callaghan, author of The Great Chocoplot Dread Wood is absolutely BRILLIANT! Majorly creepy and hugely funny! Skillfully written, with a gorgeous cast of characters, great heart, and a moving and satisfying ending. I LOVED it! - Eloise Williams, author of The Tide Singer Full of wonderful flawed characters that you empathise with and a good dollop of humour. Jen is an incredible storyteller. - Ness Harbour, author of Flight The Queen of MG horror, Jennifer Killick, is back with a brand new book and it's her signature blend of creepy and funny! Loved this book and the dialogue! So good! - award-winning author Rashmi Sirdeshpande
