Reviews
Michael Panckridge carefully builds the tension and the intrigue with a well-constructed and tightly-written tale that rapidly develops and concludes leaving little doubt that good has not yet outwitted evil. An exciting read for late primary and early secondary years.
— Magpies
A tale of high adventure starring Lewis Watt, a rather unusual boy... The Cursed is a fast-paced and imaginative boy’s own adventure full of bizarre incidents and sinister twists
— The Age
The Cursed is so thick and sticky with intrigue, at times I felt like an insect stuck on fly-paper. But, with its atmospheric prose and lashings of high adventure, it was impossible not to enjoy such captivity.
— The Sunday Age
This book grasps with iron claws and doesn’t let go until you are finished... I certainly was invisible to the outside world reading this book
— Benedict (aged 14), Written Dimension Bookshop Reading Group
An adventure of extraordinary pace and intrigue
