Danger by Gaslight - Reviews & Comments

Author : Eileen Ramsay
Category: Children's


'Set in Victorian Aberdeen, the book tells the story of 12-year-old Jamie, a bright young lad who lives with his mum in Esslemont Avenue. Although it’s aimed at children, adults will enjoy all the references to places in the city, many of which no longer exist.'
Susan Welsh, Evening Express (Aberdeen Journals)
'A readable, informative and heart-warming tale.'
Book Trust, Scotland
'Danger is stalking up Esslemont Avenue. It lurks by Skene Square; moves between the horses and carriages on Union Street. One thing’s for sure, 12-year-old Jamie Craig had better watch out.... The mystery which seems to be stalking him will keep readers glued to the pages.' .... is likely to become staple reading in the upper echelons of many city primary schools.
Press and Journal
'Set in Victorian Aberdeen, this is an old-fashioned rags to riches story but it makes a readable, informative and heart-warming tale.'
Shelf Life
'Set in 19th century Aberdeen, this story concerns a boy, Jamie, who is discovered to be the nephew and heir of a wealthy man, to whose home he delivers groceries. A classic ‘rags to riches’ story-line therefore, but with twists and turns in the plot and some sinister excitement as a slightly mad rival tries to harm Jamie.'
