Reviews

You might want to know if other readers like the books before you buy them Well, the reviews are starting to come in ... here are some of my favourite bits:
 

  • "My ten year old daughter devoured this book"
     

  • "a book that can capture and engage a reader with such empathy"
     

  • "Very well written, a delight."
     

  • "Amazing a very realistic and creative book" (that one's directly from a 9-year-old)
     

  • "Such a lovely book.  [...] What I most appreciated about this book was the level at which it was pitched, the language is reasonably complex, and the story-line is engaging. I have found that some other books pitched to this age group are candyfloss, this is a rich chocolate."
     

  • "My daughter received book 3 in this series as a gift, she read it immediately then asked for the other 2 which she promptly read.. and the last one again just to make sure!"
     

  • "The entire trilogy has been engaging and enjoyable, and this last book doesn't disappoint."

If you are - or you have access to - a primary-school student in Ireland, this is a site where they can post book reviews. It would be really lovely for Lilac to get some reviews there, to help other people find out about her.

The Primary Planet Book Reviews 


And of course, tell your friends! You can even tell your enemies too. Don't keep it to yourself!

And if you want to drop me a line or leave me a comment here to let me know about the review, or to send me your review for me to post here on the blog, that would be lovely too - otherwise I might never know to say thank you very much!

Publicity

I 'told my own story' on Writing.ie, published March 2017.

A lovely mention in a books post on popular Irish blog Life on Hushabye Farm.
