Readers’ Comments:
‘I loved the plot of a young silvertail being the hero of the story, particularly as he has a disability. Very clever.’ Girl, aged 14

‘Tons of excitement and danger. I loved the cover sooooo much too. Kywah is a cool character although I don’t know how to say his name.’ Boy, aged 12

‘Interesting story. The setting was well-described as was the characters. I liked the adventure he went on. It’s good when an adventure story has lots of twists which this book has. I understood all of the story and I would happily read another book by this writer.’ Girl, aged 14
​
‘The hunters were nasty. I think this story is a metaphor for hunting animals such as elephants for tusks. If only all the animals could fight back like this silvertail. Excellent cover.’ Boy, aged 14
