A short read but one I enjoyed very much * Echoes in an Empty Room *
A touching and moving story * Parents In Touch *
Thought-provoking, immaculately researched and with a big, warm heart, this is a story as delicate and delicious as a bowl of freshly-picked strawberries* Lancashire Evening Post *
I'm really impressed and will be seeking out more of Cotterill's books. Darby is a warm loving person who I loved reading about, and honestly I'd read a whole series about her. * Little Huxtales *
A lovely, warm story about being different, in many different ways. * The Bookbag *
This is a book with a real heart - as well as strawberries and chocolate. What's not to like? * Awfully Big Reviews *
Jo Cotterill has created an empathic, insightful, humane and sensitive story * INIS Reading Guide *
