Reviews

A genuinely uplifting, heartfelt, inclusive and moving story, fizzing with mischief and humour * Ian Eagleton, author of Glitter Boy *
Another cracker from Jen Carney! Characters to love, cartoons to make you chuckle and plenty of page-turning drama and surprises * Sarah Hagger-Holt, author of The Fights That Make Us *
Full of humour, thought-provoking and highly inclusive, this is a series that I cannot recommend highly enough as one to add to KS2 classroom shelves * Jacqui Sydney, Ex KS2 teacher and children's book blogger *
Reading this with my children (8 and 11) was an absolute joy. It made them laugh but it also made them think which is just what we look for in a children's book. * Andreina Cordani, author of Murder at the Christmas Emporium *
Uplifting, sensitive & funny...Lots to learn about fostering & makaton...I loved it * Tom Griffiths, head teacher and book blogger *
Thoroughly enjoyed...It took me right back to those rare unicorn days where something beyond unexpected happens at school. And what a family too, I love them * James Fox, author of The Boy in The Suit *
Another wonderful gem from Jen Carney who weaves humour and empathy into every page! Foster families can have fun too! A brilliantly observed story about the complexities of children who are fostered. * Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths *
The Day My School Got Famous is another winner. Genuinely funny and emotional, often at the same time, with a really powerful message about fostering and families. Ideal for Y4 * Jon Biddle, school teacher and book blogger *
