Media Reviews
INDIGO'S STAR:
A welcome new instalment in the lives of the unforgettable Casson family, ... the characters of every Casson child go on developing. This is a rich vein; let's hope Hilary McKay will soon give Permanent Rose a book of her own. * The Independent Magazine, July 2003 *
As funny and compelling as her Whitbread-winning Saffy's Angel ... the unpatronising, open, thought-provoking ending leaves us eager for more. Definetly a book to curl up with and enjoy in one single sitting. * Lesley Agnew, The Bookseller *
SAFFY'S ANGEL:

'Saffy's Angel is a delight from start to finish ... a great feel-good book with characters you want to stay with for ever. Warm, beautifully crafted and always original, it's pure fun - a book to recommend without hesitation.'

ROSE'S FLYING FEELING:
This is a funny, lighthearted read about the truth behind things that go bump in the night! The feel of the book is both down to earth and yet captivating... Read 'The Flying Feeling', and you never know, it may inspire you to face your fears and find magic in the simplest of things, like laughter, friendship and of course, that 'Flying Feeling'! * Pop *
An enchanting and funny story about the Casson family. * Birmingham Post *
