“I admire this teenage series for several reasons. They are well-designed with a good cover photo, short chapters, easy jazzy prose, an attractive font and pocket-size format. The stories are full of genuine South Africa: high school hazards, drugs, crooks, poverty, shattered families, uneasy or desperate friendships. But there’s another point.

So what is fun reading for teenagers is eye-opening for others.” – Jay Heale, BOOKCHAT review
