"from Tonette Smith"
hello Julie..... I read your Book.... LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really did, Read it in one go and was taken in by it, loved the way you wrote it and you used your imagination to your best!!!! but also a bit near the truth! You know the best for the children bit....... Funny enough today in the paper I read in Bolton that the council was called in to test for noise pollution, you will never in a million years guess where it was for????????I will tell you ........ are you ready......... a primary school play ground!!!!!!!!!! no kidding it is true it was in today's paper!!! so you are very, very near the knuckle (political) so to speak in many ways Julie. My guess is many... More > teenagers probably won't guess the extent and that is my point because as an adult I really did enjoy it! I mean I did your other book but this had underlying tones that I think us grown ups pick up on and that the teenagers would but not to the extent that parents do, if you see what I mean.

I enjoyed the journey that the children went on ( I could feel the fear at the lake) oh and when they were in the space ship their own dreams that was reflected there and I could picture what they could see. where they went and the smells.......... you wrote it so well, oh yes and once again you mentioned a teacher!

Another very, very good book. But you don't need me to tell you that you have loads of fans to do that lol............ I am sooooooo proud of you Julie

Thank you for your books..... you know that they are kept in safe keeping until my grandchild is an adult to be passed on? and on this I am not joking! < Less

"Brilliant" I got the book today and couldn´t lay it down. It´s a gripping, sensible and fantastic book. The deep emotions in the book, the logic, the true observations of it... it all leads up to a book worth reading and remembering.

A great book, Julie. Thank you.

"wishes could come true" Oh how I wish this book would come true! such a joy it would be, even though its slightly scarey.
It is SO cool!

I love the poem, the wish at the begining of the book, it made me cry!

You must be a special person to think of mankind like you did in your book.

Now I would call this pollitically incorect in the nicest possible way, especially for Uk society where everyone in authority is so anal about health and safety rules, this made me laugh out loud, she does a great job of showing just how stupid people can be on their own doorstep. Great sci fi story, nice charachters too, boy or girl can relate to the three kids that help the story along. Again written with htis theme of good parenting and subliminal messages to the bad ones. really good book, great writing and an easy read for kids.

"Disconcertingly brilliant" Hmmm after reading this book, the author has lulled us into a false sense of security? who will end up staying on earth!
The books is good, I know its for kiddies but the message is quite powerful, the book reads as if there are two messages, one for the kids and one for us!
Awsome but disconcerting at the same time.
