Best let the author tell about it...
http://www.readings.com.au/news/the-story-of-my-book-doug-macleod-on-the-life-of-a-teenage-body-snatcherand there is a full page review by Allison Paterson in Magpies Vol 25 Issue 3 July 2010 p14 (the cover book). She ends her review "Our mid-secondary boys will find the off-beat, bizarre story of Thomas Timewell very much to their liking and will be asking the question "When's the next one coming out?" We really must have more of the Timewells and their eccentric existence."
This was a surprising, entertaining, occasionally gruesome read, but with an ethical heart, Dickensian flavour, and a good sense of humour, and I strongly recommend it - along the lines of Neil Gaiman's Graveyard Book and just as good.
