Omschrijving
A fizzingly funny, heartfelt middle-grade novel about a resourceful girl, her impractical mother and a kidnapping mystery.
This twisty tale is truly marvellous
Ridiculously loveable book alert... hilarious and completely endearing
How to be Brave is wonderful. It's a brilliantly funny and heartfelt middle-grade adventure that had me cheering, smiling, crying and craving a slice of victoria sponge. Think bake-off-meets-boarding-school with nuns and ducks. I loved it.
A rip-roaring boarding school adventure that mixes old fashioned storytelling with a modern-day sensibility, How to Be Brave sees a group of resourceful girls take on a dictatorial headteacher
Both the young and the young-at-heart will find delight in the traditional good vs. evil depicted in the form of the most villainous of villains and a host of spunky female characters who are persistent enough to save the day
Expect rebellious nuns, courageous girls and an awful lot of biscuits
This story echoes the writings of Jacqueline Wilson, with its wonderfully courageous and light-hearted female characters and their valiant efforts to make change
A modern day update of the school story and it is phenomenal
Fans of Eva Ibbotson, British baking shows, and boarding school stories will happily immerse themselves in this cozily familiar setting...An entertaining and humorous adventure
Tea-and-biscuits British quirkiness...like an excellent sponge cake, How To Be Brave balances fluff with substance
Think Mallory Towers... mischievous boarding school vibes but with an added 'Evil Plot'... and ducks
Accomplished, clever, witty and full of fun, with characters you will want to be best friends with, it is a quirky treat from start to finish
This book expressed the true meaning of being brave and how in life you have to go through hard situations before you get to the good stuff
This book reminded me why books are worth reading and why confectionery is worth eating
One of the best middle-grades I've read for a while. Intensely funny, but also moving and full of puns, facts, and mouth watering Victoria Sponge cakes
I laughed and cried mightily from the outset. This is a master storyteller at work, if you don't love it too I shall eat my hat
