Reviews for The Territory; 'This is a truly exceptional novel, exciting, gripping and intense, with relatable protagonists whose agonies become the reader's own ... the final cliff-hanger will leave you clamouring for more.' Book Trust; `Govett has created a powerful and shocking novel that makes the reader wonder how societies would deal with the environmental consequences of climate change and if there could ever be any `right' course of action... excellent, thought-provoking book.' Children's Books Ireland; `...it's an enjoyable, fast-paced read, and raises some interesting questions about how you would behave in difficult situations, as well as being a clear indictment of the UK education system. It's the first in a trilogy and I'll be interested to see how the story progresses.' Books for Keeps; `I loved every second of this book, it was phenomenal.' Yourbestbookpal; `More 10 Things I Hate About You than The Hunger Games; The Territory is a brilliant introduction to a dystopian society not too far removed from our own. It goes beyond the expected tropes of a grim and bloody fight for survival and instead focuses on the daily life being a second class citizen in that most relatable and terrifying of settings - high school... The Territory is a believable, exciting read that had me hanging on every word and left me wanting to find out more about a world that could be our future.' Teen Librarian/Matt Imrie
