Julia Eccleshare reviews Lily Quench and the Dragon of Ashby | Sideways Stories from Wayside School | Agent Z Meets the Masked Crusader
Lily Quench and the Dragon of Ashby by Natlie Jane Prior
"...knockabout and unstartling, but it offers countless opportunities for being bold and taking on new challenges. There is much charm in the stories, which are effortlessly readable."
Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar
"...Each story is refreshingly different, some more moralising than others, but all predicated on a benign view of pupils, teachers and their foibles...."
Agent Z Meets The Masked Crusader by Mark Haddon
"...a welcome reissue of an earlier series for young readers."
