Lawrence can always be relied on to deliver a cracking good yarn and this second adventure ... is no exception ... More please!
These books are great fun ... it's a breath of fresh air, a short and sweet little story to cheer you up on a dull day.
What a magnificent book! Caroline Lawrence has delivered again!
his entertaining historical adventure is ideal for engaging reluctant boys, and provides a great stepping stone on to lengthier works.
