Recenzii

This is children's fiction at its best
PRAISE FOR BLACKBEARD'S TREASURE Your 8-12 year olds need to get their hands on this swashbuckling adventure by the brilliant Iszi Lawrence.
PRAISE FOR THE UNSTOPPABLE LETTY PEGGLetty and her friends and rivals are great characters, as are the real life people she comes across at different times in her adventures. Thoroughly recommended.
PRAISE FOR BILLIE SWIFT TAKES FLIGHT It is brimming with historical detail and really highlights the heroic nature of some very inspirational women. It would be an excellent class story that would provide children with a tale about a thrilling war-time adventure.
