Media Reviews
Funny and very moving -- Josie Lawrence * Daily Express *
An unsentimental and truthful book that is even better for a strong sense of mischief * Independent on Sunday *
The chatty style draws young readers straight into the story, and the constant stream of corny jokes masks, but does not conceal, the deeper issues * Daily Telegraph *
This is an hilarious and at the same time exceptionally emotional story * Scribbler *
