What a story! Absolutely loved this book. Kind of feel a bit lost now I have finished it. Deeply moving, sad, funny, surprising. This book had everything. Best book I‘ve read for a while!

This was a lovely little read. A fabulous idea for a book. I really enjoyed it.

A really great ww2 book. You fall in@love with the characters and the plot gripped me throughout. Can‘t wait to use this one in the classroom.

I read this with my 7 year old. The language is so rich. It was beautifully written. We really enjoyed it@and were pleased with how things turned out in the end 😊

I‘ve read every Jackson Brodie book that KA has written and loved them. This was great, but not my favourite of the JB cases. Worth a read though.

A heart warming read, and you can‘t help but really empathise with the main character. Lovely.

Absolutely fabulous. Covering the sensitive issue of domestic abuse but so beautifully written through a child‘s eyes. It had me in pieces at the end. A must read.

Everybody needs to read this book. It is simply stunning.

I absolutely adored this book. I couldn‘t put it down. What a journey and what a lovely message at the end.

Absolutely loved it. Can‘t wait to share it with my class. Fabulous writing and a brilliant adventure.

Great little read, full of action

Loved reading this sequel alongside my daughter.

I devoured this book! Such a fabulous insight into friendship and autism. Honest and humbling. Looking forward to sharing this with my class.

A friend of mine recommended this book to me and I would never have chosen it from the blurb.....however, it was just fabulous. Hooked me in from the start. Couldn‘t put it down, and am now missing reading it now I‘ve finished it!

Read this with my daughter. A real page turner and hilarious in places. Love some of the descriptions....appeals to both a child‘s and an adult‘s sense of humour!

This book didn‘t disappoint. Love a mystery and this one had you on the edge of your seat at times!

I very rarely read adult books (!) but this one had me gripped from the start and I read it really quickly. It really gets you thinking, and I found it unputdownable!

Really enjoyed this one. Can‘t wait to read the next one and find out more about Lucretia!

This little gem didn‘t disappoint. Loved the first one and this one. Great great sentiments throughout, brilliant for young readers and older ones. Loved it.

A really clever gem of a book. Thoroughly enjoyable and beautifully told. An insight into the autistic child‘s life and sisterly friendship.

Loved it. Magical Morrigan was a fabulous character and the storytelling was fabulous.

This is just wonderful. A real insight into real life and the story of a refugee through the eyes of children. Definitely a story for year 5/6

Great for early readers. Lovely quirky illustrations.

Great little read. Had me on the edge of my seat at some points. Fabulous concept.

Oh goodness....this sequel to ‘Once‘ didn‘t disappoint. It was harrowing in places and sad, but also touched on friendship, family and love. I just love the ten year old character Felix. I‘m going to have to read the next one.

This book will stay with me forever.

Absolutely brilliant...heart warmingly funny and sensitive and just full of all sorts of loveliness. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely fabulous. I can‘t recommend this book enough.

I enjoyed the quirkiness of this Brighton based book with my child. #childrensbooks

Hard hitting picture book. Promotes lots of discussion and writing with my class.

The innocence of the young Felix was so endearing. What a fabulous book.

A fabulous ghostly adventure.

I really enjoyed this - a great story about a boy‘s struggle and a mystery on top.

Thoroughly enjoyable. You can‘t help but love Marinka. Definitely one to use with my class

This just wasn‘t my sort of book. You can‘t help but like the main character Minty, but it just lacked something...I‘m not sure what....for me.

Deals with issues of dyslexia and alcoholism....as well as a haunted graveyard. Enjoyed some setting descriptions

I think every person should read this. Every home should have it! My 6yo loved reading it and so did I!
