Ottoline Goes to School combines the intrigue of an accessible mystery with an original plot and idiosyncratic characters. Chris Riddell guides the reader through his highly imaginative world with finely detailed pen and ink illustrations present on every page, each with a strategic touch of colo...
Some books look boring even before you’ve opened them. Bland covers, rubbish titles, dodgy colour schemes… Now those ones are great for swatting flies and using as table-tennis bats, don’t get me wrong, but there are some books out there that are so eye-catchingly awesome they should be framed an...
Just finished reading this with my nearly six-year old daughter. It's a beautiful book to look at, and my daughter loved having her first "big girl book" to read. I'd have enjoyed more plot development, but it did hold her interest. The beautiful illustrations helped a great deal. The clever puns...
Für Kinder: 4 SterneMeine MeinungIch bin von dem Buch ein bisschen enttäuscht, weil ich eine völlig andere Erwartung hatte.

I have read Beyond the Deepwoods, the first book in the Twig saga, but I (unintentionally) skipped the second book and read this, the third. But I found it was pretty good as a stand alone (though some introduction to its world is nice, and you appreciate Twig more knowing about his background). ...

Ah the nostalgia! I still remember picking up Beyond the Deepwoods in a book shop way back in 1998. That was 16 years ago! I remember being completely fascinated by all of the wonderful illustrations and the strange creatures that lurked on every page. I think It was this series that led to me re...
