Reader reviews
'I thought this book was brilliant and would love if a sequel would come out. It showed how hard living a life on the road can be and how people can be so rude to members of the travelling community even though they don't know them. I think Marita Conlon-Mckenna is a brilliant writer. I've read almost all of her books and I think they are all brilliant' Amy
'I love this book. The minute I started reading it, I got into it. It has a great storyline and seems to never stop. I would read this book a million times if I could. I love every one of Marita Conlon-McKenna's books!' Nicole Cunningham
