Awards/获奖情况："Caroline Green’s thriller is taut and suspense-packed right up to the last page." – Financial Times
“A gripping story, impossible to put down. Green cranks up the tension with every page.” – L A Weatherly
"Beautifully crafted, fast-paced thriller in which nothing is as it seems. I worried at it like a dog with a rabbit until I reached the last page. More like this please." – Susan Elkin of The Independent
“I was hooked by this book right from the beginning. … As with Bella, the main character in Dark Ride, I was completely drawn into Cal’s everyday life – and so it came as a shock when Cal’s reality began to disintegrate … Caroline Green cranks up the tension masterfully, making you as breathless as if you were on the run. As with all good dystopia, the settings are familiar and yet strange … An action-fuelled, clever and engaging thriller (and a CRACKing good read).” – Liz Bankes, Books, bonnets and full-frontal blogging
“Grabbed me from the very start. Cal’s family life is brilliantly depicted, with so many details that I felt like I was with Cal in the stifling atmosphere of his unhappy home. I could picture the edges of Cal’s world blurring as he began to lose his grip on the reality he thought he knew. When Cal is launched into a new life in a dystopian world, the story gathers an exciting momentum which doesn’t let up once. There were several scenes that had me holding my breath as I turned the page, and I was rooting for Cal every nail-biting step of the way. … I loved the exploration of Cal’s sense of self and his developing friendships with Jax and Kyla. There’s a cast of other fascinating characters, including some more sinister ones. No one ever seems completely trustworthy. The futuristic elements in Cracks are wonderful. The novel’s vision of the future is chilling and believable, though there are also welcome touches of humour in the grim surroundings. Cal’s story comes together in a moving and satisfying conclusion. An action-packed, stunning and gripping dystopian thriller.” – Chicklish
“I was rooting for Cal the entire way through the book and as you read through the novel there are parts that you speed up reading because of the action making the book impossible to put down. … Caroline Green created two entirely believable worlds. She created lovable, hated (but believable) characters. I can’t find a fault with Cracks. It really is an amazing book. This dystopian novel was another great one!” – Tyler-Rose, The Reading Pile blog
About the Author/作者介绍： 卡洛琳•格林自打年輕時，便是已經是一位寫過幾部小說的，經驗豐富的自由撰稿人。當她十歲時，在外出散步時，由於自己對全新創作的’系列’作品構思太過於專注，以至差點撞上了一棵樹。
卡洛琳的故事結構常趨向於一種特定的氣氛，像《黑暗騎士》故事中呈現在讀者面前，隆冬中一座孤陋而偏遠的海邊城鎮，一個男孩獨自坐在長椅上，凝望大海… 的場景。
卡洛琳是自稱自己為’書中極客’，她發現隨著家中兩個年輕男孩逐漸長大，自己必須開始認真對待，童書和青少年小說的寫作。她首次撰寫這種風格小說時，便在2009年度的溫徹斯特作家會議上，贏得了由小老虎出版社舉辦的青少年類別競爭獎。
Caroline Green is an experienced freelance journalist who has written stories since she was a little girl. She vividly remembers a family walk when she was ten years old when she was so preoccupied with thoughts of her new ‘series’ that she almost walked into a tree.
Caroline’s stories tend to grow from a particular atmosphere, in the case of Dark Ride, it was the image of a grotty and unloved seaside town in the middle of winter, where a lonely boy sat hunched on a bench, staring out to sea . . .
Caroline is a self-confessed ‘book geek’ and found that as her two young boys grew she began to take a serious interest in children’s and YA fiction. Her first writing in this genre won the teen category of a competition run by Little Tiger Press at the Winchester Writer’s Conference in 2009.
Finding time to write with two children and a job isn’t always easy but Caroline works on the principle that writing is a bit like knitting a scarf: if you just do a little bit whenever you can, before you know it, you’ll have something growing in a satisfying way before your eyes.
Caroline lives in North London with her husband, two sporty sons and one very bouncy labrador retriever.
