Reviews

"Dunger is that most unusual of books, a highly enjoyable story for young readers which older readers also find to their taste. A tale for all ages" -- The Source (AU) "Utterly charming and engaging ... I fell in love with the family ... A great holiday read to share, read aloud, or pass around." -- The Alligator's Mouth "Funny, moving and genuine. As ever, Cowley hits the mark with her audience." -- North and South (NZ)
