Reviews

• “The book is thrilling from first to last page. The reader is quickly invited into Heidi’s world. The story is told from her perspective, and as a reader I really feel as if I’m there with her and experience what she experiences. Since practically every chapter ends with a cliffhanger, you are encouraged to read further. Wheel of Fire is an exciting and well-written book!”

• “Suspense on a high level. /…/ It’s captivating from the very first page onwards.”

• “Expectations were high but Ohlsson once again manages to deliver. /…/ This is a real page-turner and we devoured it in one bite. Ohlsson increases the suspense so that you absolutely cannot stop reading. /…/ I think Ohlsson depicts the bonus family in a lovely way.”

• “Kristina Ohlsson is one of Sweden’s most talented suspense authors for children. She can turn real and realistic into surreal and supernatural from one sentence to the next. /…/ [Ohlsson] has the ability to all of a sudden make reality shiver. That technique is sometimes used in Wheel of Fire, but most often the supernatural and eerie slowly seep into everyday life. Thrilling and frightening.”

• “Oh, what a joy it is to read Kristina Ohlsson’s new middle grade title. I have really been anticipating her return to this age category. Her previous horror-series are big hits amongst my students. The book is delightfully scary. (…) I sure won’t be able to look at ferris wheels the same way. Neither will I have any lodgers at my place, no matter how pleasant they seem. Kristina Ohlsson demonstrates with Wheel of Fire that she is great accomplishing the kind of thrill that’s conducive to stimulating a joy for reading. No matter whether you’re an adult or a child you will keep reading with bated breath. One simply has got to find out what happens next.”

• “As always in Kristina Ohlsson’s children’s books, both the language and plot are easily accessible.”
