Reviews / Votes
"Tackling the very serious subject of peer pressure and having the strength to follow your own interests, this light-hearted title is one that will not only be enormously popular with those in Year 4 upwards in need of an illustrated short read but would also make a great class story to link into PSHE lessons about being true to yourself and/or a transition read in Year 6 ahead of the move to secondary school." - Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library, blogMore details
