Praise for A Good Day for Climbing Trees:

‘Instantly engaging, funny and robust.’Amanda Craig, New Statesman

An enchanting fable, filled with adventure and mystery.’ Anthony McGowan, author of Dogs of the Deadlands

A charming and enchanting contemporary fable…full of adventure and humour… There is also an underlying subtext of being different, wanting to fit in and the power of friendship.’ Outside in World
