The Guardian review
When Carla's beloved Grandpa dies, she is inconsolable. Then she finds a secret letter, and decides to give him the end he always wanted. A Viking funeral, in a burning boat heading out to sea. Carla and her siblings set out on a crazy and dangerous race against time to achieve the impossible. SPARKS is a dark, funny and moving story about love, death, sailing and coffin-stealing from a very popular, original and award-winning children's writer. Ally Kennen is the acclaimed author of teen novels BEAST, BERSERK and BEDLAM. SPARKS is her first book for readers of 9 and up.

hey!
I'm also a writer, myself and i can say that your book is out-from the ordinary, that's the key to instant publicity :P
Beast was a rather good one - it's good to see a hero, who indluges in crime, instead of one, who is "just perfect", lol
i've a doubt...are all your books interlinked, or is it just the first two? (excuse my ignorance, i've only read the first one)
Nice posst
