'an attractive new series which manages to use lively, well-illustrated fiction as a back-drop for RE, Citizenship and PSHE without being off-puttingly didactic or preachy...a humane and thoughtful tale which offers plenty for children and teachers to think and talk about.' -- School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002
