2. What readers say: 'Starseeker is amazing! It's a page turner. I loved how lots of stories are going on at the same time. It's not ALL about Luke. It's an amazing effect.' Fiona 'One of the best books I've ever read. It should be compulsory that everyone reads this book.' Dan 'I have only read one book - Starseeker- and it made me cry. This means it must have been written with large amounts of emotion (I think), so how do you write with emotion? Amazing book, it has a very unique storyline, one I've never ever seen before. Very good, 10000000 out of 10.' Sharn 'I just wanted to say that Starseeker is my favourite book ever! I actually play the piano and I found this book very inspirational. It makes me very happy and I recommend this book to everyone.' Stephanie 'I recently read Starseeker and I was blown away. I'm a musician, bassist to be more specific, and the way you wrote about how Luke heard music was incredible. It truly sums up what it's like when music's a huge part of your life. Thank you for such a brilliant story.' Bev 'I'm a school librarian and all the students to whom I introduce your books love them. My favourite isStarseeker- it took me on a very emotional journey. I can't think of anything else in this field that recognizes the value and the glory of music in our lives.' Alan 'Starseeker is the most inspiring book I have ever read, making me appreciate friends,family, music and life in general more than I had previously. I am glad that your books can reach out to teenagers such as myself as well as adults.' Joel
