Reviews

'Mischievous fantasy for children (and adults!)'
-- Stewart Peterson, The Greenock Telegraph

'A lively tale of magic for younger readers.'
-- The Scots Magazine, July 2008

'Oozes magic, mystery and adventure'.
-- Sandra Dick, Edinburgh Evening News

'I thought that the book was both adventurous and fantasy. It was very enjoyable and entertaining. It was too exciting to put down... I had my little sister read the first chapter, when I checked on her she was already reading chapter four!'
-- Billie Ferguson, Forrester High School, for Teen Titles Magazine

'The book was both magical and realistic... my little brother is 11 and he loved this book.'
Andrew Small, Forrester High School, writing for Teen Titles Magazine
