The Bookseller
A lively, witty, rain-drenched tale full of big beards, from one of our best children's writers.
Daniel Hahn, New Review (supplement to The Independent on Sunday
...this is a most enjoyable book...
Mary Arrigan, The Irish Examiner
This is Anne Fine at her hilarious best...
Wendy Cooling, Child Education
This is Anne Fine at her hilarious best in an immensely readable story
Scholastic Magazines
It's a controlled riot of invention, with a plot that embraces everything (or so it seems) from pork pies (some on sticks) to man (boy)-made floods, Morning Glory's sweet flutings to ear-crunching accents,incontinent seagulls to all those hairy chins. A laugh on virtually every one of its 180-odd pages.
Chris Stephenson, Carousel
A laugh on virtually every one of its 180-odd pages.
Carousel
... bursting with silly situations and hilarious antics.
Bournemouth Daily Echo
a real delight

Anne Fine's acerbic take on life often assumes a level of sophistication in her young readers. Insights into the emotional lives of grown ups can appeal to children and the misunderstandings that surround Harry and Tristram's trip create comic situations that make the readers, for once, the knowing ones.
