However, to his surprise, Perkins finds that he too can be creative...

Reviews

An amusing tale

—— TES

The sheer daftness of the ideas will keep kids' attention clamped eagerly to every page

—— SHE Magazine

Dick King-Smith needs no introduction and these two tales will win new fans . . . Would be suitable for early independent readers - but adults won't mind having them read to them either

—— The School Librarian

I would recommend this book

—— Junior Education

Highly recommended

—— The School Librarian

The book was very good and sad in places

—— Education Otherwise

Two worlds conflate in this evocative and moving novel about the healing power of memory.

—— Oxford Times

Geras conveys well the difficulties of relating to a colonial community and being the new child...

—— Books for Keeps

This is a substantial novel suitable for readers of 13+

—— Inis

Bright and very descriptive . . .this book will stay with you forever

—— TBK mag

It has a slightly slow start but soon you will be glued to the covers
