Sunday Times Children's Book Of The Week
Hilary McKay is always funny, touching and surprising, and has depths of wisdom despite her lightness of touch. She makes us care about these characters as we would about what happens to members of our own family. There is a chance that this book may not be the last, which is fortunate, because we just don’t want to say goodbye to the Cassons. NICOLETTE JONES
Hear, hear - ACHUKA says 'Hilary McKay is great' too!


It CAN'T be the last Casson novel! It's got way too much of a cliff-hanger. Say it ain't so, Hilary!
