Opal Moonbaby and the Summer Secret Reviews

A little like Pippi Longstocking meets Dodie Smith ... with a sprinkle of Jacqueline Wilson-esque social commentary thrown in for good measure. I really enjoyed this. It's got a certain, almost old-fashioned, charm to it--DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK
The story of an alien who comes to earth on a mission to make friends, this is a rather lovely debut. Quirky and very charming, Opal is something of a futuristic Pippi Longstocking, which can only be a good thing--BOOKSELLER
Now - I want you to remember the name of Opal Moonbaby - she's a brilliant comic creation ... Opal sparkles and she's totally original. I loved her. And Maudie Smith gives us a great story too. She's pitch-perfect on the way that girls in this age group act--THE BOOKBAG
Endlessly inventive--Piers Torday, author of THE LAST WILD on THE CAKE, THE WOLF AND THE WITCH
A touching story deliciously tinged with magic--LOVE READING4KIDS
This is a great book which has ... lots of funny, zany twists. I would recommend this book to boys and girls 7 years and up who enjoy a quirky tale with cliffhangers, problem solving and touches of magic--GUARDIAN CHILDREN S BOOKS
