A nine year old in need of a burst of sunshine should look for Malorie Blackman's The Big Book of Betsey Biggalow. Independent A delightful book. Irish Examiner The West Indian setting ensures a lively dramatic edge, not least when the heroine's family face the onslaught of a hurricane that turns out to be less trouble than Betsey herself.
