i thought that this book was ok it sort of was fine

this is a very good book i think this book has a good story and it SHOULD win it has interesting characters and a good setting.

i love all the sophie mckenzie books and i love the one that won last year six steps to a girl is the best

This book was very moving and has a very original back story and mystery to be solved. This book was amazing and Ms McKenzie deserves to win again. Theo and Rachel are very realistic characters that you could meet almost every day. I re-read it three times within a week – it was that good! I REALLY hope there’s a sequel.

Blood ties is an amazing story about Theo who finds out that his father who everyone said had died, is alive and is determined to find him. And the more he looks into it the more danger he gets in.His clues lead him to shy and lonely Racheal and once they descover their true identities their lives are changed for ever. This story is an Mysterious and mind blowing book that you would not want to put down.

I have read the Book Blood ties which is probably one of the best adventure books I have read so far.
I think Sophie McKenzie is a great teenage author and I might be interested in reading one of her books again, when I first began to read Blood Ties I thought it was going to be one of those typical love stories but as I read more tension started to build up and the secrets began to unravel.
I was very shocked at what happened at the end of Blood ties but I think Sophie’s use of description was excellent.

This story is breath-taking and inspirational. you never know whats going to happen next. This story is about a boy called theo and a girl called rachel. There is a secret that will drastically change there lives forever. They are both clones of people and it will send them on a adventure. Theo is trying to find his dad but has he got a dad? I really love this book its so great i couldn’t stop reading.

This book is amazing because it keeps you reading.
I like the bit when I found out Max was a girl.
I was laughing and shocked at the same time.
