"I like the book The Masked Cleaning Ladies Save the Day by John Coldwell, because the cleaning ladies are Kings and Captains but they pretend that they’re cleaning ladies. Your books are funny and exciting."
By Solomon, Age 7
"I really love your books. I recommend Cornflake Coin. It is very exciting because Keny has no chance until her brother makes hope for her and defeats Tom Thorn. I like a lot of things about your books, for example the pictures and the excitement."
By Ari
"I think your books are great. My favourite book would be The Masked Cleaning ladies Save the day because it is so exciting and the pictures make me really see what’s happening. My favourite character in the story is princess Jane."
