Reviews

`If you're looking for a new book with a determined, strong female role model then this is for you' Being a Mummy blog `This was such a fun book. We need more books with girl inventors!' Twirling Book Princess blog `This exuberantly riotous story... blends the fun of rhyme with the touching friendship between a charismatic crow and a never-say-die young inventor' Lancashire Evening Post `A lovely story of ingenuity and determination' Parents in Touch `I doubt many will fail to fall for Izzy and her mechanical mind. Pip Jones' rhyming narrative is a cracker to read aloud and Sara Ogilvie's imagination must be almost as fertile as young Izzy's... A real riot.' Red Reading Hub blog `Jones's loping, engaging rhymes and Ogilvie's vivacious images evoke both inspiration and frustration' The Guardian
