What They’re Saying

This was a really fun read and I can imagine it being a story that is loved and read over and over - it certainly has some brilliant quirky characters!

-Donna's Book Blog

I wish more books like this had been around when I was a child, it would have made reading even better and more imaginative. A character like Trixie would have been a great read as a child and was also a very cute and loving character to read as an adult.

-Belle and the Novel

The Spyglass and the Cherry Tree is a brilliant fantasy adventure with a journey about confronting fears and trials to become a hero, with a variety of eccentric characters, an evil queen, and the quest for a magical stone.

-Liz Konkel

From a parents point of view I liked that the book showed that we can all be different but all feel the same when we are left out, made fun of or are bullied.

-Orchard Book Club's Mini Reviewers

I may be an adult, but I still found myself snorting with laughter at the humour, and the snippets that I read out to my class had them giggling away and roaring with laughter.

-The Bookish Fairy

[My daughter] read it through in one evening and there was complete joy and laughter that could be heard through the ceiling to my office below. She loved the story.

-Girl Who Sciences

The book was very exciting and fun to read. I really liked that there were activity pages at the end. The characters are very likeable and realistic. The author puts a creative twist on classic monsters, including a vegetarian vampire!

-Kristen Van Kampen

What a brilliant, funny children’s story this turned out to be! ... I have no hesitation in highly recommending it as a fun read for children and the young at heart, too, and teachers should definitely check it out!

-Splashes Into Books

My 9 year old daughter loved this book. This is the first book she could read without using coloured overlays. She actually chose to take this book to school to read at break time which is a first.

-Amazon Review

I read this book to my six year old son and he was enamoured with it right from the very first page. I sometimes struggle to get him to engage with a story, especially a longer book like this, but he was absolutely gripped and begged me to read more every night!

-Amazon Review

We were privileged to get a copy for dyslexic children and its been so nice to see my daughter enjoy a book and be able to read it and understand it.
