—— Pam Norfolk , Blackpool Gazette

All fans of Jacqueline Wilson's warm-hearted family stories are sure to enjoy this enjoyable tale

—— Booktrust

Sibling rivalry comes under the spotlight in Wilson’s latest paperback

—— The Bookseller

A whimsical, warm-hearted adventure

—— The Bookseller

Very entertaining reading . . . This is a book very much on the side of the child, operating rather in the same way that, for example, the children’s novels of Roald Dahl operate. But Boyne’s humour is much gentler and subtler than Dahl’s . . . Oliver Jeffers’s black-and-white illustrations capture both the wit and pathos of Boyne’s text

—— Irish Times

A fun and thought-provoking story of self-discovery, and the humour and gentleness with which Boyne delivers his message make it both unforgettable and delightful
