Praise for Animals Don't Have Ghosts

'... a freshness and a sense of humour ... which is very appealing' School Librarian

'Action packed' Parent and Teacher

'Michelle in Animals Don't Have Ghosts was declared "really good" by my seven-year-old who loved the story of know-all Michelle and her country cousins, Dara and Sinead, who have a day out in Dublin, taking in the Natural History Museum, St Stephen's Green and a shopping centre with escalators.' The Irish Times

'This is a pleasant variant of the 'town mouse, country mouse' fable, set in modern Dublin.' Inis - Children's Books Ireland

'Set in anecdotal chapters, the dialogue between the cousins is bouncy and entertaining, making this a good starter read-alone.' The Sunday Tribune
