Review
A beautifully written story to make you laugh and cry ―
Jacqueline Wilson

Utterly lovely . . . Enid Blyton meets Jacqueline Wilson meets Jenny Nimmo, with all the humour and warmth you'd expect in a Susie Day novel ―
Sally Nicholls, author of Things a Bright Girl Can Do

If Jacqueline Wilson ganged up with Alan Garner and remixed A Monster Calls, with dragons. Powerful and deep. ―
Louie Stowell, author of The Dragon in the Library

"Wonderfully diverse and effortlessly entertaining, Susie's books are a must for all school libraries" ―
BOOKLOVER JO, BLOGGER AND LIBRARIAN
