"I love Jill Atkins' voice... Real characters, real family relations, and magic on top of it. A lovely, modern adaptation of a famous fairy tale." Erepaska, Amazon "A Brightness Out of the Blue was an inspired idea by Jill Atkins, cleverly reworking the traditional story of Cinderella into a modern context. It was a really uplifting read." C Bullivant, Amazon "A very interesting novel. It changes your view on how you see things. The main character went through a lot in this novel which blurs the lines between fantasy and modern life. I would recommend this amazing novel..." Gemma McPartlin, Currie Community High "I reallly liked the idea of a 'fairytale with a twist' that the plot uses.... and I loved the characters."
