“For my money, Lisa Thompson is one of the greatest treasures we have in contemporary children’s fiction. She effortlessly blends sentiment with skill, creating stories that excite the mind while tugging the heart. A rare, brilliant talent”

“A clever, thought‑provoking story that draws parallels between past and present conflicts, and how we remember those lost so that we can move on”

“This truly incredible tale that comes from the heart is both a gift and a gentle reminder of remembrance, appreciation and standing up for what you strongly believe in. No one writes stunning stories with the depth of emotion and empathy quite like Lisa does”

“This book tells a poignant and powerful story about the importance of remembering and feeling heard … it had me in tears!”

“This small but perfectly formed novella is another guaranteed hit from Lisa Thompson … the messages she sends go right to your heart”
