The Hoolet That Couldnae Fly Reviews

Praise for The Tongue She Speaks:

Wi her latest nuvel, grae is gaun fae strenth tae strenth! - DR MICHAEL DEMPSTER, Director of The Scots Language Centre

Deep-rooted prejudice against the Scots language is to be explored in a new book that features a bullied teenage schoolgirl as its main protagonist. - BRIAN FERGUSSON, The Scotsman

The book gives us all the inspiration to delve intae oor inn'r Scots and try and scrive in Scots anaw! It's also helped light the fire in me of encouraging my classes to use Scots regularly - after all, we aw speak it! - SCOTT SHEILDS, The Wee Scottish Book Club

Emma Grae's new novel paints a portrait of a young life that is both thrilling and moving. - JOYCE MCMILLAN, The Scotsman

Grae's writing has a real edge, addressing not only bullying, grief, and growing pains, but also mental health, therapy, and belonging...The real achievement of The Tongue She Speaks is that it's simply wonderfully written, and an effortless read. It's not great because it's written in Scots: it's great AND it's written in Scots. The language is there to enrich and shape the characters. It is integral to who they are. - ALISTAIR BRAIDWOOD, Snack Magazine

A pleisure tae hear hou young anes the day, haundle the Scots/English dichotomy. - BILLY KAY, author of Scots: the mither tongue
