My Review: This middle grade thriller even moves like an avalanche- it accelerates rapidly and it gathers weight as it as it goes. Fox’s thriller writing always seem to hit a spot that no one else does. His books are action-packed and exciting with sympathetic characters who are always concerned about something emotional but don’t dwell on it too much in the midst of all of the peril. That’s pretty much spot on for a lot of MG readers! He has a strong fan-base in our Library after Running Out Of Time was on the BookBuzz list and they’re going to love it.

Suggested For: thrill-seekers!

Blurb: Tom thought going to a luxury ski resort was the holiday he and his mum needed. But he didn’t expect kidnappers to take over their chalet – looking for the dangerous technology her boss has created – or for an avalanche to trap them even further. Can Tom figure a way out, before it’s too late?
