review 1: Superbly written junior fiction. Jen Storer writes words you can just about eat like chocolate (in fact I prefer her words to chocolate) and her characters are fabulous... They put me in mind of some of the rich characters from the Russian literature that I read during my university days, particularly the short stories, where the character has to emerge larger than life within a brief number of words. I had the opportunity to go to a session with Jen Storer this coming Saturday to hear all about making interesting characters in fiction, but alas, life is getting in the way. I hope I get another opportunity one day.
review 2: Terrific kid-lit. The villains are horrid, the humans are good or bad as their natures dictate, the GAs show that the mind of a bureaucr... moreacy moves slowly, if at all, even in the Celestial Realm and Tensy Farlow herself is a heroine for the ages. Seriously, if you loved Joan Aiken's books as a child, if you loved hearing the prose of Roald Dahl read aloud, if you adore JK Rowling's sense of humor, pick up this marvelous gift from Australia. Tensy Farlow and her friends from the Home of Mislaid Children will tug at your heart strings long after you've closed the book. less
