Critic Reviews

Charming, witty and imaginative, and packed with an unbelievable amount of stunning artwork for the price point. This might be one of the best books to be published for 7-9 year-olds this year.
This gorgeous book, written as a diary with Riddell’s stunning illustrations, is so packed with literary puns and cultural jokes that I had to read it twice in case I missed something. The first in a series, this is the perfect summer read.
Allusive, humorous and fabulously illustrated, this 7+ diary adventure is stuffed to the gills with charm.
Full of Riddell’s richly detailed and intricate black and white illustrations, this utterly charming and comedy-infused fantasy adventure delivers a seductive blend of friendship, underwater fun and imagination. (Pan Norfolk)
Packed with puns and cultural jokes, Riddell's illustrations are stunning.
