Reviews

This debut novel is a delight. Its wit and observation put it in the tradition of Eva Ibbotson and Hilary McKay. Full of unexpected phrases and illustrated with just the right degree of freedom and quirkiness, this is a real discovery. A joy to read aloud Sunday Times Childrens Book of the Week

The Stewarts never could have guessed that a day trip to the zoo would mean theyd end up sharing their house with a penguin, let alone the amazing mystery that follows. Will appeal to fans of Paddington. iNews Best Childrens Books for Christmas
