Recenzii

"It's their best book yet ... Reeve and McIntyre are a classic team ... The climax is moving and beautifully judged."
"As the story dashes along so, too, do the illustrations, which are a delight on every page."
"...an engaging story for children (and, in my case at least, adults) who have the ability to read alone but aren't yet ready to give up the pleasure of heavily illustrated books."
"The whole book is a race and I can't wait to read the whole book to find out what happens in the end."
Praise for Cakes in Space "Children will love the chaotic fun and cartoonish illustrations in this fast paced fantasy."
Praise for Oliver and the Seawigs "A fun-packed delight."
"A gloriously wacky story"
"Immersive, richly textured, and enormous fun. It's a great example of what illustrated children's novels can achieve"
"Marries the very different talents of Reeve and McIntyre to fabulous effect"
"The story is packed full of jokes, characters and incident and the plentiful illustrations, with their suitably icy green palette, are equally delightful with lots of detail."
"Another delight from the Reeve and McIntyre dream team."
"If you are looking for something to read that is fast-paced and humorous, this laugh-out-loud adventure story is the one for you!"
