'Evocative page-turner that captures all its chaos, noise and danger...' Sunday Express
'James deftly evokes life in wartime Britain. Nostalgia plays its part... but the everyday reality of death and destruction is also there, sudden and terrifying.' Independent
'Brian's thrilling debut book Dangerous Skies follows a group of pals brought up amid the Second World War bomb sites.' The Daily Star Sunday
'Dangerous Skies is a beautifully-plotted novel with memorable characters and a riveting story but most of all it's a wonderful evocation of those dreadful years of dogfights, blitz and fear of invasion.' Dennis Hamley, author of The War and Freddy and Divided Loyalties
'I would recommend this book as an excellent resource for Year 5 and 6 children who are studying World War II. A great addition to any school library.' Rachel Macleaod, Gorstybriggs Primary School
'We read and watch a variety of subjects relating to the Second World War and this book sits up there with Friend orr Foe, The Ma-chine Gunner, Whistle in the Dark, Good Night Mr Tom and The Lion and the Unicorn. The book is a gritty, realistic tale of the first hand experiences of children during the Blitz. It's a great book with themes of friendship and loyalty which will appeal to children, both boys and girls from nine years and over.' Mrs Jo Heap, Year 4 teacher at Bradway Junior School, Sheffield
