Monster

Thora is an irresistible new character ... storytelling at its best. * Starred review, Publishing News *

 

Thora is a thoroughly modern heroine in a fantasy adventure story with a pleasantly old-fashioned feel to it ... Gillian Johnson's own illustrations add to the book's charm. * Books for Keeps *

 

Johnson's writing is witty and inventive ... This is a book full of fun * Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week *

 

Wonderfully inventive and witty - the sort of book that gladdens the heart * Children's Bookseller and Publisher, Austra *
