Breaker – Book Review
Gripping from the first page, Annemarie Allan’s latest offering is likely to be a big hit with her 8-12 target audience, especially those from East Lothian.
We all love to read about our local environment and this one is set in North Berwick. Like the award winning Hox, it is based on scientific developments yet to come – and no doubt with a little technical help from Anne’s biologist husband – which allows Anne to explore her own imagination.
Environmental disaster, friendships and loyalty, excitement and integrity, all these are lightly touched upon through a page-turning plot that catches hold of 12 year old twins Beth and Tom when they move to their new home by the sea.
This second published novel is written with increasing confidence and style. For more insights into Anne’s writing, see our earlier interview.
