Shortlisted for The Branford Boase Award 2014 - April 2013 Debut of the Month - Winner of the Times/Chicken House Children’s Fiction Competition 2012 - Shortlisted for the Leeds Book Awards 2014, 11-14 category   When poison boy Dalton Fly, a food taster for the rich, narrowly escapes death, he sets out to save his city from the poisoners within. Thrilling, richly imagined, swashbuckling adventure for ages 10-14.

A Piece of Passion from Publisher, Barry Cunningham   What a job. Tasting for poison isn't exactly a lifelong career! And what if you also live in a topsy-turvy world of swords, feuds, disguises and madcap violence - and don't know who you are? Oh, and there's a girl you are supposed to save, and you find yourself hunted by absolutely everyone for reasons that are totally unclear. Welcome to the brilliant and exciting world of Dalton Fly. You'll love it. Just don't drink the wine.

In addition to our Lovereading expert opinion for The Poison Boy a small number of children were lucky enough to be invited to review this title. Here's a taster....'The story had a very exciting start which I love, but it ended too quick.  I loved reading the book and look forward to more by that author.'....
