"We think that Witch Silver, the fifth adventure in the gripping Dragonfire series, is the finest book so far... Witch Silver is a fantastic book that we enjoyed thoroughly, in particular the imaginative descriptions of the frightening witches." -- Scott and Naomi (Primary 5), George Heriot's School, Edinburgh '... fans of the first four books will be delighted with this latest book for 8-12 year olds from the popular Edinburgh author, as they learn that no one is all bad or all good.' --Suse Coon, Lothian Life 'I enjoyed this book as it is about mysteries, having adventures and going out at night.' -- Juwariah Butt (Currie Community High), Teen Titles, December 2010
