Reviews

Poppy has graduated from picture books into these reassuring, well-observed read-alone stories about the nature of friendship and a small girl's hopes and fears.

—— The Glasgow Herald

Poppy's first unpleasent experience of spreading gossip will keep you turning the pages as fast as your eyes can read.

—— Cork Evening Echo

One to read aloud

—— The Sunday Times

Funny, pacey adventure that blends a fairly kitchen sink set of family dynamics with some utterly zany fantasy. There is a big whiff of Roald Dahl anarchy about it . . . A crackling little story

—— thebookbag.co.uk

A funny, exciting read
