MEDIA REVIEWS
Sally Gardner, the enormously creative author of I, Coriander, chucks magic, a quest and scoopfuls of jeopardy into the first bok in her new series. It's also got dyslexia-friendly type, and Nick Maland's illustrations add to the fun'
This enchanting new series is an absolute delight... Striking just the right note of whimsy and magic'
An enchanting story, in which elements of traditional fairy tale verge on the surreal. But Gardner's skill is to contain even her wildest ideas within a meticulous plot
An idiosyncratic genius
This is a warm fantasy story, full of wishes and magic... Children will love the zany twists to this story and the lighthearted language and humour... A charming book with a great sense of fun, and should prove popular with newly confident readers'
A fanciful fable... What's even more fantastic about this dive into the depths of the author's fathomless imagination is that the story is printed in blue ink in Dyslexie, a font designed to make reading easier and more dyslexia-friendly'
A gentle tale that satisfactorily combines whimsy and witty ridiculousness'
