Customer Reviews

A wonderful story
My children can't get enough of Michael Morpurgo books at the moment and this is the latest in a series that I have read aloud to them. This is the story of Jessie, who with the aid of her cousin Jack and the ghosts of Grania o'Malley and her crew, overcomes her own disability to fight for what she believes in. This is a fast moving story with believable and likeable characters and will appeal to children of all ages.

just 1 word, EXCELLENT
As I read this book I just couldn't get enough of it and I loved Grania o'Malley. when Jessie called out for her I just wished she would turn up and help her through her problems. When Jack first came into the story I didn't like him too much but as the story developed he became my favorite character. When I was reading this book I was dying to find out what happened but as I got towards the end I started to read it slower as I didn't want the book to end.
