Sophie Takes to the Sky

"Adorable illustrations by Briony May Smith … A super-readable story, imbued with wonder" – Guardian
"Katherine Woodfine has managed to fit a really fabulous story into a very manageable sized book … I am in awe of anyone who can encapsulate so much in a relatively small word count but, for me, this is an example of how it can be achieved brilliantly" – Kate Poels
"Simple and heart-warming, with beautiful illustrations … young readers are sure to be empowered by Sophie’s courage by the end" – Scotsman
"Both entertaining and empowering. Briony May Smith’s gallery of colourful and atmospheric illustrations are the perfect foil for a story full of adventure, discovery and daring" – Lancashire Evening Post
"A very positive message … Will encourage children to linger and look … I think this is a gorgeous “Little Gem” that will be enjoyed by many readers and would make a delightful introduction to historical fiction" – A Library Lady, Blog
