Recenzii

Impossible not to read it in a single gulp
Utterly sublime
Compelling and beautifully wrought
A book that changes its reader for the better
Undoubtedly one of the best books of the year
One of our most original writers
Very special
Winner of the Honour Award for Fiction in the KPMG Ireland Children's Books Awards 2020, Toffee is lyrical and compelling, with Crossan's style beautifully balancing trauma and frustration, with heart-warming moments and glimpses of humour
This is a tense read, as two vulnerable characters struggle to maintain their autonomy in a precarious world. There are no happy endings, but the reader feels that Allison/Toffee's commitment to education will be her salvation
I would read one page of this and find myself needing to turn to the next because this book was so good. The chapters were short and it left me wanting more ... Intense and also kind of moving
