Critic Reviews
'Packed with magic and adventure, the story has suspense, intrigue and peril. This is the first book in a new, highly illustrated series for ages 5 to 7, and it's perfectly pitched for new readers, or for reading with children who want more than a picture book but aren't yet ready to listen to more lengthy chapter books.'Juno Magazine;'A delightful magical romp of a story in which the unexpected is always bound to happen. Love Reading;'A fast moving, enjoyable story. The plot gallops along, and there is a satisfying mix of jeopardy and laughter. Magda Brol's lively illustrations and page decorations capture the spirit of the prose, adding a welcome visual element to the narrative.' Books for Keeps;'This quirky and immersive illustrated short chapter book will engross newly independent readers in KS1 and is perfect for group reading with lower ability KS2 children.' School Reading List;'With lots of laughs, pages of fast-paced action to enjoy, a cast of superbly imagined characters, themes of justice, standing up to bullies and shared endeavour, and Brol's comical illustrations adding extra zing and zest, this is the perfect book to launch youngsters into a lifetime of reading.' Lancashire Evening Post;'I know children who have just become fluent readers will be able to access and enjoy this book with minimal adult support. A book children will love reading.' Reading Zone
