Critics Review
Praise for A Room Full of Chocolate:
‘What a touching, beautifully imagined debut about a young girl coping with her mother’s cancer and her grandfather’s stubbornness. It’s atmosphere reminds me of the central relationship in Goodnight Mr Tom. - Amanda CraigA really moving debut, tackling big issues such as parental illness and bullying. Another one for fans of Sarah Lean and Cathy Cassidy. - The BooksellerHonestly, honestly, honestly, this story is just lovely. It’s simply told and easy to read but it’s also beautifully written. - The Bookbag… perfectly captures the innocence, sincerity and warmth of pre-adolescence, that unbreakable bond between friends, and the unique, unspoilt and heartfelt love of a daughter for her mother. At times, desperately moving, and others riotously fun, this is a special book that is destined to charm readers old and young. - We Love This BookAbout The Author
