Starts off seeming a bit of a copycat, but it gathers momentum and becomes a delightful, silly read with its own strengths. Characterful illustrations and cute ending add great appeal. Terrific fun, would read aloud well too.

Brilliantly funny yarn with a likeable cast of characters and a quick pace. Story is fairly prosaic, but the style is great. Strong addition to younger comics collections.

A well-crafted and pacey page-turner. The characters are skilfully drawn as is the dystopian landscape. It's not too long so would make a good class read and could lead to discussion about family and what it means to be human. Well worth having

A funny story, nicely told with expressive illustrations. Poor Brenda the cat! The reader can really feel her pain. A great book for sharing. It's colourful and makes you smile.

A fabulous book with four adventures which will keep young curious minds engaged. There's lots to spot and solve and the information about everyday objects and machines is explained clearly. Great for KS2 leisure curriculum collections.

Fabulously illustrated explanations of natures cycles. Step by step format with arrows to follow, makes the information accessible & easy to follow. Each double page is beautifully presented & gives the reader plenty to learn & explore.

Explores the theme of baby snatching, the effects of it and the damage of long-held family secrets. Relatable characters and strong storytelling, there are unexpected and emotive twists when all is revealed. Realistic, heartfelt and a good read

Lovely use of language, fun illus and a host of engaging characters including fab named monsters (Snotwoggle!). Entertaining, (monster stats are a hoot!) and a hilarious adventure in Grumpfort. Easy-reading, popular theme and very accessible, good

An excellent, atmospheric, captivating read. The plot moves skillfully between times, which keeps things moving in both plots. Highly recommended.

Loopy plot premise but this is a compelling, genre-defying mystery with huge imaginative scope & great characters. Well crafted read for older teens/adult crossover

Wonderful illustrations that are very expressive with plenty to look at. Enjoyable text with a rhyme that mostly flows well. It's great for sharing with beautiful end papers. A fabulous book.

Full of humour with likeable characters and a lovely message around the importance of friendship and that there are many different ways in which we can all shine and be ourselves. Good.

A thoroughly atmospheric tale, full of the right elements for a perfect ghost story. Eerie, strange and with a great twist. An ideal quick read.

A lovely book about the wonder of nature and showcasing a grandfather-granddaughter relationship. With a pet otter and a double page spread of facts about the golden hare at the end, each reading will be a memorable experience.

An entertaining story which zips along from one escapade to the next. A refreshing range of cultures and non-stereotypical characters.
