Reviews
Well targeted at the Jacqueline Wilson/Cathy Cassidy market with strong, believable characters.
The Bookseller
A non-preachy and wise look at the values of friendship and honesty. Daines tackles some big topics in this book . . . but does it with sensitivity and an understanding of the frailty of human nature.
The Bookbag
An assured debut full of excellently observed detail of the things that interest older primary children.
Books for Keeps
Daines writes a very real story and tackles gritty family issues really well. I loved Lolly, and I hope to hear more from her in future!

A gutsy, real-life story.
