great book with a good twist that i did not see coming. You cant help but feel sorry for Toms mum and tom for what they have been though. i had to keep reading to see what the school was doing to make Tom ill.

Another new to me author and I loved it. I was gripped from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. Characters all believable and a good storyline.

This kept me guessing all the way through as to what on earth was going on! Is it the school? is it the pupils? is it the teachers? Fantastic read!

Truly gripping from start to breathless finish, DON'T TELL TEACHER is compelling, urgent, expertly delivered and all too believable - with a twist that shattered me so fiercely I had to read it three or four times until it sank in. If there's any justice, this will be a monster hit.

A breathtaking thriller with a surprising twist.
Lizzie has run away from her ex with her son Tom to start a new life. Tom starts at a new school with an outstanding OFSTED rating so why is he tired all the time and where do the marks on his arm come from? Is the school too good to be true?
I really enjoyed this book and the way it was told from several points of view and I look forward to reading more from the author

Lizzie is a single mother running away from an abusive relationship. I struggled at the beginning with this book and found it quite hard work but finished it but not sure whether I could give this any more than 2 stars. Sorry

Wow! I absolutely loved this book, straight away from page 1 I was hooked, I couldn’t read it quick enough as I just had to find out what was going on!! Thought I had it all figured out at one point....but no! A real page turner, greatly written.

Wow, OMG what a brilliant read, I couldn’t put it down I was in awe of what was to come next. The twist I definitely didn’t see it coming. The writer of this novel, made such a good job of Tomes mum fooling everyone including the readers. They way it was wrote she was so convincing. Poor Tom and Oliver. I thought things didn’t seem right, a school with bars at the windows,plus padlocked gates. Hmmmmm. This book is damnd going, I suggest you read it. A spine chilling addictive read. I bloody awesome book. I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.

A very clever twisted book, seen through the eyes of Lizzy past and present escaping an abusive marriage, Tom her son is terrified of his dad finding them. He starts a new school where strange things happen and Tom's behaviour changes, he also becomes I'll.
Kate his social worker is relentless in her quest to find out what's happening at the school and to Tom.
A clever ending one I did anticipate as a paediatric nurse I have a lot of knowledge on this although I hoped I was wrong.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book; I was intrigued by the premise of a woman and her young son trying to cope with rebuilding their lives after escaping an abusive home life, only to struggle with more suffering in their new lives.
Many different perspectives are used throughout the novel, providing alternate viewpoints of events.
I found the novel to be an easy, enjoyable read, and generally warmed to the characters. The twist at the end had me doubting my own abilities to judge people accurately!

Literally blown away!! Just when you think nothing can suprise you, I'm absolutely blown away by the twist this book took. I started reading it last night and have not stopped. It's addictive. I don't want to drop any spoilers so I won't go into the story to much except to say if you like a story with an unbelievable twist then this is the book for you. I'm still shocked

Lizzie is a single mother fleeing an abusive relationship. Her and her son Tom move to a new area and a new school. But things start going wrong from the start. But will Lizzie be believed?

I did find this book very slow at first. I even contemplated giving up at one point but I’m so glad I kept going. The end was nothing like I’d expected and beautifully written. High,y recommended

Thank you NetGalley for the advance reader copy of Don't Tell Teacher by Suzy K. Quinn. Young Tom takes ill. What is happening to him? The truth will surprise you. Great read.

I really enjoyed this book; I had no idea of the plot twist coming at the end, it totally took me by surprise. It gave a good portrayal of the difficulties working as a social worker; inadequate funding, but being found culpable if something goes wrong. I look forward to the authors next book.

Totally different ending to what I expected. It's not often a book surprises me, but this one did. A good read, very enjoyable.

Thank you to the author and publisher for the advanced copy of Don't Tell Teacher.
This book hits the ground running and continues at a fast pace.
The characters were intriguing. The young boy did talk in quite an adult way as other reviewers have commented but children who have been through trauma often can.
I loved that I didn't see the ending coming as it did, very cleverly written

Brilliant. It’s not often that a twist gets past me, but this one did and I cursed myself for it too!

Absolutely brilliant. One to reread.

What a great read Don't Tell Teacher was, loved the twist, such an addictive read, can't wait to read more by this author.

Oh yes! Now, this was a good read. Gripping, intense, full of twists and turns. I completely loved it.

I didn’t feel like that for the first third or so, it seemed like a fairly middle of the road ‘girl meets controlling boy’ type of read, but oh gosh this book packs the punches. I just loved the formation of plot, the development of characters and the way in which Suzy K Quinn weaves all her intricacies in and out of what you’re reading.

Above all, this book really emphasises the strength and persuasiveness of controlling relationships. Quinn’s narrative expertly directs your perception of the situation and what you feel towards each character, much as a controlling partner might do in a relationship ruled by the balance between power and fear. It’s clever, and cunning - conniving almost. I’m absolutely dying to read it all again, and unearth all those little nuances of the book now I know the outcome. This is a fascinating and compelling read, a real trickster of a book.

Brilliant absolutely loved it read if in a day! Only complaint about it is the little boy speaking like an adult. I would recommend it to anyone.
