Reviews

PRAISE FOR THE FRANK SHOW:
The story delivers a positive message with subversive wit and charm The Irish Times

A quirky book that bridges the age gap Junior Magazine

Mackintoshs anarchic illustrations are hilarious but theres a serious point about how much the older generation has to offer children, including loads of fun. The Herald

Praise for MARSHALL ARMSTRONG IS NEW TO OUR SCHOOL:

Utterly unpredictable from one page to the next, this is a seriously funny book. The Independent On Sunday

I think this book is fantastic because I can read it myself and I love the pictures and the way it looks. The story is really, really good and fantastic because it's strange and weird. Childs review on the Guardians childrens book site.
