'Quirky and curious ... unforgettable. The central characters are strong, lovable - and unique.' -- Nic Knight, THE BOOKSELLER 'A real feel-good novel, McKay treats us once again to one of her brilliantly characterised families. This is a really lovely book.' -- THE BOOKSELLER A funny, exuberant story.' -- CAROUSEL 'Brilliant, funny, clever and kind.' -- Amazon.co.uk Hilary McKay's strength lies in her understanding of young people and her ability to evoke them very simply.' -- THE GUARDIAN DOG FRIDAY 'Children will be greatly entertained by this rollicking story.' -- JUNIOR BOOKSHELF 'Finding its place in a rather neglected area of childrne's fiction, Hilary McKay pitches the tone just right with a tale that is both funning and touching.' -- The Guardian 20011128 'Hilary McKay excels in conveying the anarchic bedlawm of family life, and she has excelled herself in her marvellous novel, Saffy's Angel which deserves to be placed alongside such classics as Little Women and The Railway Children.' -- TES Primary 20011201
