      Reviews

      Praise for Crossing the Line :

      'An uncompromising exploration of the ruthless Darwinian world of teenagers. It's tough, rough-textured and assured, cynical where it needs to be, and demands respect'
      Financial Times||'Bleakly humorous, imbuing a difficult subject matter with warmth, intelligence and compassion'
      Big Issue||Praise for The Opposite of Amber :

      'It's beautifully written, tense and absorbing, and we can't recommend it highly enough'
      The Bookbag||'Gillian Phillips just gets better and better. I suspect there is nothing she can't write about. And I suspect there is nothing I won't read if it's by Gillian'
