Review
A genuinely uplifting, heartfelt, inclusive and moving story, fizzing with mischief and humour - Ian Eagleton, author of Glitter Boy
Another cracker from Jen Carney! Characters to love, cartoons to make you chuckle and plenty of page-turning drama and surprises - Sarah Hagger-Holt, author of The Fights That Make Us
Full of humour, thought-provoking and highly inclusive, this is a series that I cannot recommend highly enough as one to add to KS2 classroom shelves - Jacqui Sydney, Ex KS2 teacher and children's book blogger
Reading this with my children (8 and 11) was an absolute joy. It made them laugh but it also made them think which is just what we look for in a children's book. - Andreina Cordani, author of Murder at the Christmas Emporium
Uplifting, sensitive & funny...Lots to learn about fostering & makaton...I loved it - Tom Griffiths, head teacher and book blogger
Thoroughly enjoyed...It took me right back to those rare unicorn days where something beyond unexpected happens at school. And what a family too, I love them - James Fox, author of The Boy in The Suit
Another wonderful gem from Jen Carney who weaves humour and empathy into every page! Foster families can have fun too! A brilliantly observed story about the complexities of children who are fostered. - Maisie Chan, author of Danny Chung Does Not Do Maths
The Day My School Got Famous is another winner. Genuinely funny and emotional, often at the same time, with a really powerful message about fostering and families. Ideal for Y4 - Jon Biddle, school teacher and book blogger
