Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘With Jess in year 10, I think this is probably suited to the 12-15 reader and hopefully it emphasises the ‘innocent until proven guilty’ message that so many people ignore.’ –ourbookreviewsonline – http://ourbookreviewsonline.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/firewallers-by-simon-packham.html
‘The only books permitted in the young adult section of the Dawdler library are timeless classics like Black Beauty, What Katy Did at School and Swallows and Amazons. But whilst retaining a lingering affection for the leisurely pace and innocence of books where girls called Titty could spend whole summers messing about in boats, I’m glad to be writing at a time when fiction for younger readers is allowed to venture into more controversial territory.’ –Simon Packham on Firewallers – http://www.yacontemporary.com/2013/05/guest-post-simon-packham-on-his-new.html

About the Author
Simon Packham read drama at Manchester University. He was a stand-up comedian
and then an actor for twenty years (if you didn’t blink you might have caught him on
The Bill, or standing next to Dame Judy Dench in a mask) before becoming a writer.
He has published four previous books with Piccadilly, all about children who attend
the fictional St Thomas’s Community College. He is married to a headmistress, and has two teenage children who both give him invaluable advice on his writing.
