Media Reviews
"A Race for Toad Hall pays gentle homage to Grahame's original, while creating a rip-roaring ride for the digital generation" * Liverpool Echo *
"Mr Toad is as gloriously eccentric as you would expect him to be and the new young characters are smart, brave and adventurous." * YLG North West *
"One of the reasons the story works so well, is because of Mr Toad's response to the modern world" * Books for Keeps *
"S series revisiting a much loved character, bringing him up to date. He is as bombastic as ever" * Primary Times *
"It has beautiful illustrations and the story moves at a cracking pace" * School Zone *
"A sparkling standalone read filled with Holly Swain's jump-off-the-page, green-toned drawings. We're glad Mr Toad lives on" * The Yorkshire Post *
Author's Bio
Tom Moorhouse lives in Oxford. When not writing fiction he works as an ecologist at Oxford University's Zoology Department. Over the years he has met quite a lot of wildlife. Most of it tried to bite him. He loves hiking up mountains, walking through woods, climbing on rocks, and generally being weather-beaten outdoors. Holly Swain studied Illustration at UWE Bristol before taking up a place on the Narrative Illustration and Editorial Design (later Sequential Illustration) MA in Brighton. She has since illustrated a selection of picture book texts by authors such as Cressida Cowell, Ronda Armitage, and Simon Puttock. Holly's studio is in a conservatory in her seaside home.
