Critics Review
A stunning mix of mystery and suspense, the tale of Penny Pickering and the maze will delight mid and upper primary readers. * ReadPlus *
It is exciting, fast paced and adventurous, but it’s the eccentricity of the characters that make it delightful… I have recommended this series to my daughter, nieces and students and have no qualms recommending it to any young lover of mystery and adventure. * Reading Time *

Some of her favourite books, re-read countless dog-eared times include Rumer Godden’s The Dolls’ House, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden, Dodie Smith’s I Capture the Castle and Noel Streatfeild’s “Shoes” series. She has long been a fan of cities with long, winding histories, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, foxes and ivy. She prefers to write with a cup of Darjeeling tea by her side and a Devon Rex cat curled up in her lap.
