Violet never wanted to move to Perfect. Who wants to live in a town where everyone has to wear glasses to stop them going blind? And who wants to be neat and tidy and perfectly behaved all the time?
But Violet quickly discovers there’s something weird going on in the town – she keeps hearing voices, her mam is acting strange and her dad has disappeared.
When she meets Boy she realizes that her dad is not the only person to have vanished… and that the mysterious Watchers are guarding a perfectly creepy secret!

I really loved this book because of its creative side. All of the aspects of the book were well thought out. Everything about the book makes sense. With the characters, you can see their personality shine through their sentences and actions. Are they good, bad, evil, helpless, bossy, shy or uncontrollable? A place called perfect is really a perfect book for any reader. It does not matter if you like something specific because it smashes all these specifics into one perfect book.
its fun,scary and there are a lot of big twists! i recommend this book for 10 year olds! i love the part where the no mans landers work together and save perfect!
really good book full of twist and turns and really good ending
I really like the book because it was full of twists and turns
It was totally amazing, there was a massive twist. It was funny and emotional with a really happy ending.
New faverout book ! Absolutelly loved it! Creepy,exiting and heartbreaking all at the same time!
A place Called Perfect was another one of those books that I just couldn’t put down, full of suspense, evil characters, plants with eyes, sibling rivalry, love, friendship and a lot of imagination.
The town called Perfect, is on the outside just that, perfect, but as everyone who lives there has lost their sight and needs glasses to see they view life through special rose-tinted glasses supplied by the Archer brothers. Violet and her family move to Perfect after her father is head hunted to solve the towns loss of sight problem but immediately she hates it. She’s left her home, her friends, her school and within 24 hours of arriving she’s lost her sight.
Violet is a fantastic heroine in the tale, she feels fear, sorrow and frustration yet works to conquer them and with help from new found friendships becomes a strong, resilient and a great leader.
Brilliantly written with fantastic descriptions it’s easy to become completely immersed in the world of Perfect.
Wonderful funny Eyes are watching you so, creepy
i love this book because its very expressive in writing and emotions, would reccomend
I loved this book because it was fiction.Also my favourite character was Violet because she is adventurous and unique.She is unique because she doesn’t come from perfect and the tea and glasses don’t work on her meaning she still has full imagination.I really recommend this book for someone any age!!!
It was really good and there was a amazing mystery that got solved at the end really well.
Very good
My favourite characters violet because she is brave and kind the plot was interesting and it kept me turning the pages
Really fun
one of my favorite books! Its just ‘perfect’!!
I loved this book about a mysterious place called Perfect
So fun and insparational
I loved Violet and the fact her mum turns into a perfectionist. She is really interesting because she has lots of imagination. I like no man’s land and boy. I really don’t like the Archer twins though
This book was so exitingand full of mystery. So much happens in just the first few chapters. It can also be creepy but I loved this book and would 100% recommend it to anyone over 7.
It is amazing for me since I am really into suspense and I love how the author described everything in such detail
Not interested
I loved this book would highly recommend if you are looking for a exiting adventure story.
What can I say. Absolute PERFECTION! Love this book, it will keep you guessing until the very end and then throw a plot twist at you. Love this combination of mystery and horror and it is the perfect book to read if you like any of the things listed above. I would recommend this book to anyone in the age range of 9+ because it could get a bit scary for younger readers, but an absolutely phenomenal book, would read again!
Epic I am reading the series
A story that was full of suspense. Violet is a brave girl with a sharp mind. Determined not to become a 'perfect' citizen who follows whatever the Archers say like everyone else in the town, she fights to free everyone from perfection. A gripping read that kept me interested all the way through.
I love how the characters mix with each other and how the depict the story
I can’t wait to read the next in the series, I would definitely recommend it
One word: A-MA-ZING!
I couldn’t put this book down!
I found this book cool as it was interesting but spooky. It is about a girl called violet who goes to live in a new town but ends up uncoveering a whole new side to perfect!
This book was a mixture of horror and mystery which is one of the reasons I like this book.Since this book was fiction something that interested me was that they were going to replace the perfect glasses for perfect eyes. The thing that interested me most was that George and Edward Archer made coffee which made people blind I thought of this surprising because they seemed nice but I thought they were a little to nice. Something else that surprised me was the fact that some people that weren’t perfect according to George and Edward Archer we’re sent to No-Man’s-Land where they would become invisible to the people living in perfect also know as perfectionists.
I loved it because there was a bit of mystery then a bit of adventure. I would recommend it to someone else because I loved reading it and Violet finds out lots of interesting things. Some good and some bad.
