Media Reviews
Gripping, funny and sensitively written * Independent on Sunday *
A modern story, realistic with lots of witty, offbeat humour * Daily Telegraph *
A witty and moving tale of divorce * The Times *
A deeply moving account of a child's agony and bewilderment as she suffers from her parents' divorce. Feelings tumble out in a cascade of experiences, at once painful and funny. Language is racy and modern, superbly capturing the experience of many children today * Junior Education *
There's a bittersweet symmetry in [Andy's] defiant, touchingly manipulative and funny account of how she comes to terms with it all. Charming stylised illustrations by Nick Sharratt * Guardian *
