This is a book full of fun * Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week * Thora is an irresistible new character ... storytelling at its best. * Starred review, Publishing News * Thora is a thoroughly modern heroine in a fantasy adventure story with a pleasantly old-fashioned feel to it ... Gillian Johnson's own illustrations add to the book's charm. * Books for Keeps * Wonderfully inventive and witty - the sort of book that gladdens the heart * <i>Children's Bookseller and Publisher</i>, Austra *More details
