Jam-packed tales full of hilarity, excitement and fun . . . Perfect for all young readers looking for a thoroughly engaging read. - LoveReading4Kids This is a brilliant book in an excellent series, I would recommend it for boys and girls from 8 upwards, but teachers or parents could read it aloud to even younger children. I hope Sally Gardner will write more in this series. - Guardian
