PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ross MacKenzie has been writing stories since he was seven years old, when he created an illustrated short story about a hungry crocodile named Crunchy Colin in a smuggled school jotter. His novel The Nowhere Emporium won the Blue Peter Best Story Award and the Scottish Children's Book Award. He now splits his time between writing, his day job as a graphic designer and his wife, daughters and cocker spaniel, with whom he lives near Glasgow.
Pure brilliance... A dazzling spectrum of non-stop thrills -- Piers Torday It's as magical as it is original; infused with a glittering rainbow of strange enchantments, colourful characters, and brave hearts -- Thomas Taylor A tour de force! It's an adventure which is as warm-hearted as it is exciting, and as imaginative as it is full of meaning -- Julia Eccleshare * LoveReading * The magical elements of the story are dramatic and exciting but questions are also asked about how it feels to be different or excluded and how we react to people who are unlike ourselves... Tense, thrilling and thought-provoking * BookTrust *
