Reviews
- My class of naughty Year 8s have been transformed by this book - they have LOVED reading it so much that a couple of them suggested that instead of moving on to the next unit (which is on animation, usually a sure-fire winner) we should just re-read the book. - TES Staffroom
- The students were totally bowled over by it. - Ms Theobald, Head of English, Slough Grammar School
