'Dale Peck writes beautifully, and some of his characters (particularly the children) are very well realised. He has a rich and powerful imagination.' Times Educational Supplement 'shows a fecund imagination but also the influence of Hollywood films, Disney animation, and children's classics (by CS Lewis and E Nesbit).' Daily Telegraph 'The book is thoroughly enjoyable read and one that will doubtless re-affirm Peck's reputation as one of the 21st century's finest talents' ReFresh magazine 'Drift House pays homage to writers such as CS Lewis. All the ingredients are there...the book, however, is more than that; it is a meditation upon the nature of time and belonging, responsibility and self-sacrifice. Peck has produced an atmospheric and compelling read which would make the perfect gift. Drift House may just have that all-important cross-over appeal.' Attitude magazine
