13 hours centres on 13 suspense filled hours in AnniÆs life. Every night, she rushes home from school, desperate to get home. She is a carer for her mum, who panics about being alone in their large, derelict house.
AnniÆs Mum is terrified of intruders and often gets Anni to check the house to make sure they are safe. But this Friday night, when Anni goes to check û she hears voices. Desperate, she and her mum try to escape but the intruders discover them and keep them prisoner. What is their motive û could it be to do with the Prime MinisterÆs visit tomorrow?
Thirteen Hours is a great book. I think it is important that Anni is a young carer so that there is an important topic raised in the story. The suspense and well thought out plot made the book engaging and interesting. Well done to Narinder Dhami for making this book so exciting to read!
I really liked this book. It was interesting and became very intriguing. The little girl, Anjeela, was very brave and that made me feel that I could be like her. She discovers the RAIDERS protesters in her attic by mistake and she didn’t really like the thought of being bossed around by people who intruded into her own home. You could feel the intensity when bad things start to happen. I understand why Anjeela would feel like that as well though. I don’t really think anyone would like intruders in their house.
I would recommend this book to 12+. Narinder Dhami has inspired me to write mystery novels and get lost in the moment like she did.
I think Narinder will be delighted that her book has inspired you to write mystery novels
Well done on your book review, Charlotte. I know you think this was a really good book to read and I’m glad you enjoyed reading it.

There are only three words I can find to describe this book: stunning, astonishing and alarming. While I was reading this book, I was at the edge of my head because I was soooo curious to find the story’s ending. I love the character of Anni. She is so independent and can do many responsible things that the girl at my age I hardly will be able to do. It was a great story.
