Media Reviews
'A book that will be enjoyed by readers of animal stories but that also has potential to lead to discussion of the plight of endangered species. * School Librarian *
'... thrills the same way as London's White Fang does.' * Amanda Craig, The Times *
Cadoc: 'Worthy, well-written and stomach-churning.' * Daily Echo, Bournemouth *
Had me on the edge of my seat. * School Librarian *
Wolf!: 'Captures perfectly the arbitrary, necessary cruelty of a predator and the deliberate, pointless cruelty of human hunters. Children will rush through this story ...' * Armadillo *
Elephant Ben: 'compelling reading' * The School Librarian *
An exciting and immensely enjoyable adventure story ... A great read for any young wildlife enthusiast. * The Northern Echo *
Kimba:'Geoffrey Malone continues to be one of the great specialists of the animal novel.' * West of France review paper *
