Superficially, playwright Laline Paulls debut novel is perfectly conventional. The setting is a fantastical dystopia, the protagonist a plucky heroine refusing to abide by the rules. So far, so Hunger Games.

Which is true enough, but as with all books large or small, the devil is in the details. Theres a little bit of Charlottes Web and also a wry dose of Lemony Snicket in this story of a plucky girl placed into the custody of the sinister Miss Switch.
