The Nature of Ash

It is not often you would describe a YA novel as a blockbuster but in this case it is totally appropriate.
From my Collins Internet-linked dictionary - Blockbuster - a very successful, effective of forceful person or thing.
This 364 page, totally gripping Wellington-set thriller has been getting rave reviews around the country and having now read the story myself I am not at all surprised. Action-packed, fast paced stuff that I read it two long sittings.
Watch out for it in next year's book awards.
