Reviews

    Received in time. It is used book but With good condition

  • This book mixes English with Scottish writing!

    The mixture of language just makes the reading more enjoyable.

  • really happy to have found

    I remember reading this book as a kid and have been searching for it since, really happy to have found it

  • A MUST read for all adults and children alike.

    This is an ESSENTIAL short novel for all children to read at some point. Also, necessary for all adults to read too to understand the implications of dyslexia in a childs life and how various adults deal with it. As a teacher, I found this valuable and have incorporated it into the year that they will look at. It gives some good methods of intervention as well as a true insight into how teachers can be ignorant of the fact that a student may be dyslexic and the impact this would have on not only their intellectual ability but also their social abilities.

  • Whispers in the Graveyard

    I bought this book for my son's English homework and found myself so engrossed that I had to finish the story. You sent it in record time which was great as we were on a deadline and this was the only place I could get it. Thank you
