Review
“Hilarious and heartbreaking by turns, this is a comic and poignant portrait of modern family life which will appeal to both boys and girls. In Jacqueline Wilson style, Joanna Nadin has a wonderful ability to paint an accurate picture of modern family life but, even when there is sadness, intertwine it with humour. Billy is just one of a brilliant new cast of characters. and what a welcome breath of fresh air he is. Both entertaining and, for some, comfort reading.” – Janet Tansley, Liverpool Echo
Review
“This is a story about a family starring a boy, in contrast to many of the genre. Portrayed with humour and realism, Billy is a character that both boys and girls will identify with. a well-written, pacy book, divided into very short chapters ideal to encourage young readers.” – Parents in Touch website Jan 2011
