Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times
«Proper, sparkly, witty, enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect.»
Hilary McKay
«A comic novel so light on its feet, it is positively levitating»
The Times
«It’s a relief to find Frank Cottrell-Boyce cheering us on with his irrepressible boy narrator in Noah’s Gold [...] An adventure whose wit and energy recalls E Nesbit’s immortal Oswald Bastable, this is an absolute tonic about using your head instead of relying on technology, or adults»
Amanda Craig, New Statesman
«A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart»
Sunday Telegraph
«Joyous writing. Wonderful characters. Authentic humour. Heart & soul. So Much Fun. And, oh, the dialogue! Just love it! Pure class»
Jenny Pearson, author of <i>The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates</i>

Independent
«A laugh-out-loud writer»
Guardian
«There’s always a buzz of excitement in the air when a new Frank Cottrell-Boyce book hits the shelves and the award-winning author certainly strikes gold with this rip-roaring adventure.»
Lancashire Evening Post
«Noah's Gold is fantastically fun, packed with action and overflows with heart as the group get closer and friendships bloom. It would make a brilliant class novel (and a fab film too!) I thoroughly recommend this clever, comic caper.»
ReadingZone
"Packed with mystery, adventure and laughs, Noah’s Gold by Frank Cottrell-Boyce (Macmillan, €15.50), is like an Irish Lord of the Flies, where the pupils have to govern themselves on an island after their teacher disappears. An engaging book with amazing illustrations, even a map."
Irish Independent
«Frank Cottrell-Boyce has created a brilliantly sympathetic and funny character in Noah, and his insecurity about being the smallest, the youngest, and the person seemingly responsible for everything going wrong makes him a wonderfully relatable hero.»
BookTrust
«This book absolutely sizzles and sparks with Frank’s most marvellous sense of humour. It’s cheeky, funny, heart-warming and so full of love.»
Love My Read
«a funny and life-affirming tale about co-operation and resourcefulness, with a Blytonesque hidden-loot subplot thrown in.»
