 AWARDS AND PRAISE FOR THE JANE DOE CHRONICLES
 2019 Australian Book Industry Award winner for Book of the Year for Older Children
 Shortlisted for the 2021 Australian Book Industry Award for Book of the Year for Older Children
 ‘Speeding trains? He’s got them. Forests with something unnerving about them? Those too, and so much more: a girl seeking missing kin; booby-trapped ruins; and whip tricks worthy of Indiana Jones.’
 – The Guardian
 ‘I didn’t want to put it down. Neither will you.’
 – Kids’ Book Review
 ‘A fantastic fast-paced exciting adventure set in a magical labyrinth of a manor with rooms that shift, booby traps and a classic bad guy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.’
 – Readings Kids
 ‘A roller-coaster fantasy adventure with laughs as well as heart.’
 – Apple Books
 ‘An explosive, fast-paced, snarky, high-stakes quest through an ancient haunted house. Double-crosses! Triple-crosses! A daring flight in a location definitely not intended for an airplane! A massive rolling boulder! Sandstorms and scorpions! Jane Doe will either save or destroy all the worlds, bantering all the while.’
 – Kirkus
 ‘Immediately exciting and inventive.’
 – Books+Publishing
