A very readable story in the hands of an experienced writer.

the book delivered much more than I even anticipated
*Book Mad Blog*
The pacing and plot development is brilliantly executed and will
have you on the edge of your seat, desperate to find out what
happens next until the very last page, I couldn't put it down once
I'd started. There's a brilliant twist at the end, I won't spoil it
but trust me, It's a good one! I can't recommend this book enough,
it's definitely in my top ten 2017 reads and I'll definitely be
buying a finished copy when it's out.

STAGS is a pacey and well-plotted young adult story that champions
outsiders and questions out-dated viewpoints in a constantly
evolving world. It makes for an entertaining standalone novel but a
sequel wouldn't be unwelcome.
*Culture Fly*
MA Bennett is brilliant at keeping the reader in suspense.
