Critics Review
a most delightful book with a clear developing story and a few surprises … highly recommended. - Reading Time on STUCK!
a very satisfactory adventure story … The time and landscape of the island are palpably authentic, as is the character of Dorrie and her warm relationship with Gah. With a ripper plot … and written in the jargon of the day, this is a corker yarn! - MAGPIES on THE GHOST AT THE POINTA beautifully circular narrative … beautifully composed … just about a perfect picture book. - SATURDAY MORNING, Radio New Zealand on STUCK!WHY I LOVE FOOTY has the hallmarks of appealing to those in the know: footy-mad kids aged four to 10. - BIG ISSUE on WHY I LOVE FOOTYan amusing tribute to dads - KIRKUS REVIEWS on MY DAD THINKS HE S FUNNYAbout The Author
