Editorial Reviews

Review

'An eye-catching jacket and inside illustrations, an intriguing central premise ... Good-fun reads in which the humour is gently targeted.' -- TES Teacher 'Books for children seeking something more original ... can make all the difference. Margaret Ryan, Rose Impey and Shoo Rayner are amongst those serving this market with diligence and skill.' -- The Guardian Hover Boy: 'Popular Scottish author, Margaret Ryan, has the recipe just right. Her not-so-secret ingredient is a well-developed sense of humour ... illustrated with Nicola Slater's stylishly retro line drawings.' -- Kathryn Ross, The Scotsman
