Trade Review

“A delight. Pacy, exciting, philosophically chewy. It works, as they say, like a dream” Times Children’s Book of the Week

“A funny, complex, gripping and deeply empathetic story from the masterful Welford” Daily Mail

‘A brilliantly exciting adventure that deals sensitively with children’s fear’ Daily Mail

Praise for TIME TRAVELLING WITH A HAMSTER:

‘The gripping suspense truly makes time fly… the book’s heart and humour are hard to resist.’ Piers Torday, author of The Last Wild

“Extremely clever and totally engaging.” The Irish Times

“Intelligent, well crafted and impressive.” Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

‘With intriguing twists from start to finish, this story is a real roller coaster of emotions. It warmed my heart and filled my head with wonder! A fast, funny and really satisfying read that sparks your imagination.’ Joseph, 10
