REVIEWS

“I gifted my daughter (12) your book for Easter - she finished it in a day. She came to me last night and asked me to please get the next one. She said there were so many twists and turns and was so amazed at the ending. Elsie has been a bookworm for a long time, but her eyes tell me that your book was brilliant. Well Done!”

"I was very excited to spot this in a shop over the weekend! My 9-year-old read it in two days, and tonight when I asked him for a review, this is what he said:

'Read it. It's like, the best. Like, as good as Nevermoor.'"

"My very first book review, and I’m the first reviewer of this book on Goodreads! I loved this book so much! I really hope there is a second one planned because I really want to know what happens next! I’m so pleased my mum saw this book recommended by the authors relative on Instagram. I hope she writes lots more!!"

"Will you look at this beauty? You really need to see it in person to get the full spot UV sparkly glitter magic. I’ve been dying to read this magical middle grade debut from NZ author Shara Curlett and thought I’d take a quick squiz this morning over breakfast. Next thing I knew, we were running late for school. Right from the opening chapter, Shara draws you in with a voice and a story that feels brand new yet comfortingly familiar, like you’ve travelled back in time to read a childhood classic for the first time. There’s something very special about this one."

"Hi Anita! I just wanted to say thank you for recommending the book Welcome to Miracle a little while ago. We ordered it from Bookclub and my daughter just devoured it in 2 days and LOVED it. She’s so hard to please but this was right up her alley! She hopes there’s a second book planned haha, Thanks again! x."
