Reviews

The trick of writing as a child is not easy to pull off, but Wilson does it triumphantly
*Independent on Sunday on THE SUITCASE KID*

Honest, angry, sometimes sad and always very readable. There is also a near-happy ending, which is both moving and for the most part credible. Adults could learn something here about the emotional turmoil suffered by a child with divided loyalties
*TES on THE SUITCASE KID*

Even the most resistant page-turner would find this difficult to put down
*The Sunday Times on THE LOTTIE PROJECT*
