How Ali Ferguson Saved Houdini
«Praise for How Kirsty Jenkins Stole the Elephant: 'Its ingenious ideas, humour and clear, unfussy style keep the pages turning speedily to the feel-good conclusion, which is moving without being mawkish' Sunday Times 'Creating novels that engage children and at the same time show how books can help them explore difficult questions about their own experience is perhaps the ideal of children's fiction, but it's a difficult balancing act ... Elen Caldecott has achieved this balance beautifully' Observer Praise for How Ali Ferguson Saved Houdini: 'What I particularly liked was the recognition and portrayal of children's rich and imaginary lives in the tradition of Nesbit and Ransome ... An enjoyable and page-turning read' School Librarian 'Kid-sleuth adventure set unflinchingly in contemporary Britain. The book manages to be fun and serious at the same time' Financial Times»
