'funny, loveable and sad, the characters are all so real.' 10/10 The Guardian kids online a very enjoyable book which will make you laugh and make you cry. ... Thoroughly believable engaging characters are this book's strength. It is realism at its best. Carousel Brave New Girl is a lively, fun read from a writer who understands the problems of being thirteen and sometimes feeling uncomfortable and misunderstood. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this is ultimately a very positive book as the often exploited but big-hearted Seren manages to work through her problems, both with her family and peer group.
