'A genius ... his is an enduring influence'

'Resonates beyond words'

'That rare adult who can still think like a child'

Hilarious

Accompanied by fun illustrations throughout, this series is a real find as a strong male narrator is a rare thing indeed

For the world today, Janusz Korczak is a symbol of true religion and true morality

A rediscovered kid's fantasy to enthral a new generation. Nearly seven decades before a kid named Harry pottered about with magic, Janusz Korczak's orphan boy King Matt the First captivated children all across Europe. Matt's message of hope shines past Korczak's tragic end in 1942 at a Nazi death camp with 200 Jewish orphans he refused to abandon

Matt is clearly an ancestor of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's Little Prince

Dermot's voice is blunt and hilarious, exactly what you'd expect from a boy of his age . . . The Donut Diaries is the perfect book for readers aged 9+, especially those who will soon be starting big school themselves

A hilarious diary which will have the reader chuckling as events unfold - and empathising with Dermot as he shares anguishes common to many near-teenage boys

This is the funniest book I have ever read, I can't wait until the next book in the series. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a little laugh

Funny and sweet in equal measure and I thoroughly enjoyed it

A new twist to the diary genre

Like a donut, this book is somehow sweet and disgusting at the same time. Oh, and it's very funny too!

It's very much that wet sloppy fart kind of humour. Your kids will absolutely love this book. It's a great "next step up" the reading ladder
