""What struck me most was the depth of the story. On one level it's as simple as the Billie B Brown stories that Sally is well known for, but beneath the surface, Polly and Buster bubbles with issues that our children, and society as a whole, are (unfortunately) still dealing with ... It really was more of an emotional rollercoaster than I'd expected from both Sally and a book aimed at this age group. But part of Sally's talent is being able to write for an 8-year-old mind whilst managing to beautifully and subtlety explore much larger and darker issues. Magnificent."" –L-J Lacey, Three Four Knock on the Door, Independent Children's Bookshop ""I adored this book. I felt my own heart shrink and swell with Buster's as I read this wonderful tale of friendship, peer pressure, hope and doing what's right (even if it feels scary or too big for you)... The kind of book I want everyone I know to read, adult and child!"" –Dani Solomon, Readings. ""This book contains all the big themes - friendship, family, empathising with others, holding on to what is right in the face of peer pressure - (and) promises to be the start of a series that middle-primary readers will want to follow."" –Books + Publishing. ""This is the gorgeous sequel to Polly and Buster: The Wayward Witch and the Feelings Monster, and I loved it. If anything, Polly and Buster are even more endearing now than they were in Book 1. They are still inseparable, and are on their next adventure. The magic stones, given to Polly by her father when she was a little girl, were 'activated' in the last book by Miss Spinnaker, Polly's teacher, and the stones are now leading Polly and Buster into forbidden territory. The evil Deirdre Halloway is trying her best to stir up trouble between witches and monsters; however, the friendship between Polly and Buster is true and steadfast. Hopefully there will be a Book 3, because I'm pretty sure the evil Deirdre hasn't finished with our two little friends yet. I so wish I had a grand-daughter I could share this with - I loved it."" –Colleen, Raven's Parlour Bookstore ""Beautiful book inside and out. This series is special in every way. The language that Sally uses, the feelings and emotions between Polly and Buster are just divine. There are some lovely messages within these pages that kids will relate to - 'Friends stand up for friends, no matter what'(p4). The overall theme is that just because we are different doesn't mean that we can't all live together and get along. Monsters and Witches just want to get along."" –Julie Garner, Goodreads.
