Media Reviews
Finding its place in a rather neglected area of childrne's fiction, Hilary McKay pitches the tone just right with a tale that is both funning and touching. * The Guardian *
Hilary McKay excels in conveying the anarchic bedlawm of family life, and she has excelled herself in her marvellous novel, Saffy's Angel which deserves to be placed alongside such classics as Little Women and The Railway Children. * TES Primary *
