Splendidly incredible . . . [These stories] deserve to amuse a new generation of children as much as they amused their parents

Full of humour and will be enjoyed as much by parents as by children

Genuine wit and ingenuity

If you enjoyed Professor Branestawm, you will know what sort of imaginative nonsense to expect

The fact that it doesn't end in a fairy tale happy ever after makes it more realistic because life isn't like that!

Brilliant . . . Touching

Utterly memorable . . . Jacqueline Wilson has a beautifully light touch for such difficult subjects

Jacqueline Wilson writes the kind of books you just can't put down, making you feel so many emotions that you don't know whether to laugh or cry . . . a must-read for teenagers

Chosen by a reader as her favourite book

Moving and intense story involving domestic violence and breast cancer but which manages to be uplifting about both.

Yet another brilliant book that you never want to put down.
