"It has that sprinkle of fairytale charm that we find so little of lately. "
"You might have to get two, like I did - one copy for you, one for the kids."
"Chapters are short, ideal, I think for children's fiction. I can imagine classes in school using a story like this."
"There is so much for young readers to wonder about and I can see how easily a book like this could be used to motivate pupils to produce their own work. There's a good balance between dialogue and narrative, and your descriptions of the sailing craft and ice-world are excellent."
