Media Reviews
Wonderful. * Guardian *
'Handsomely illustrated by Nick Maland, it has a humour and a humanity of it's own, and adds to, rather than detracts from, the original.' * The Sunday Times *
'Wittily illustrated by Nick Maland, packed with humour and just enough heartache to keep readers involved, this charming novel is a real treat' * Nicholas Tucker, Independent *
'Wishing for Tomorrow is a warm, witty read that offers more realistic advice on climbing out of poverty than inheriting a diamond mine' * Daily Telegraph *
Funny, clever and vividly characterised - I loved it. * Bounemouth Daily Echo *
Charming, stylish, often funny, and frequently very moving. * School Librarian *
Warm and wise. * Sunday Express *
A pitch-perfect reconstruction of the attic world of Miss Minchin's Seminary. * Independent *
A superb job of breathing new life into familiar characters. **** * Books For Keeps *
Clever, sweet, lively and well-written. * Times *
Superbly realised... very true to the original... a cleverly entertaining book. * School Librarian *
