I really didn't think this book was something I would like, but it proved me wrong. I found it very difficult to dislike this book, it's not the best book I've ever read, but it's great any way and I recommend it to anyone .
marks:8/10

Smokescreen is really good and can hold your interest quite well, but it’s not an amazing book. I liked the characters and the plot though I think that the two storylines should have come together before the very end although it does a good job of building up the tension. I would recommend this book to teenagers who are experienced readers.

I like smoke screen because I felt sorry for Ellie having to make new friends. I found the story interesting and exciting.

Smokescreen was O.K. I’ll admit that it isn’t the first choice of book for me to read, but I still really enjoyed it. I thought the author described Ellie's surroundings very well and I loved the little reasons behind all of Ellies fears and opinions. I loved how the main plot suddenly emerges, that had a great effect on how I read it. Even though it may have not done everything I expected it to, i’d give this book a respectable 7/10!

I consider this book quite enjoyable overall, although it is rather confusing early on as the two separate accounts are a little meaningless, when weighed against each other. However it becomes more plausible half way through and understandable towards the unexpected ending.
It is quite a facilitating read; however, it was not too difficult to put down.

really good and very realistic. things like that happen all the time and its very depressing so maybe make it a bit more lightening up. i know that would be hard to do but it would make a lot of people reading it a bit more cheerful. it is really good though and really liked reading it and i do highly recommend it because i couldn't put it down. i really think it should get to the short list as i think it has a good chance of winning and i'll be happy if it does.

This book is brilliant. The dual narrative really creates tension and suspense. The school life of Ellie, the main character, is very realistic and the exportation of Song from her home town in China to London shows how very cruel people smuggling is. It also shows the ruthlessness of the smugglers, how they have no regard for the lives of others, just money. I especially liked the surprising (yet enjoyable) ending.

This book is about a Chinese girl called Song and a girl in London called Ellie. This book tells the story of an illegal immigrant who is smuggled from China to England. Then there the life of Ellie who I think is a school girl (?) with her mates.

i liked smokescreen because it was interesting and enjoyable.

I’m 1/2 way through it and it is a good read, the way it switches through characters is good.
