Reviews

'One of the best new series of the past year. In the second book, Audrey Goes to Town, our heroine is excited to visit the Town of Beltana, mainly because of the fact that there is a shop that sells only lollies! But then Audrey's mum gets sick and she and her brother Dougie have to stay in town with Mrs Paterson, a horrible old lady with a nose sharp enough to open a can of peaches. Audrey didn't ever think that she would dread staying in town for a month... but that was before she met Mrs Paterson.
Audrey's Big Secret is the third book out in this fabulous series. In the middle of the night, Audrey looks out into the dark and sees a pale hovering shape. Audrey is a fantastic heroine and role model for young girls, and her adventures will keep you enthralled!'
Amelia Vahtrick, Kids Buzz Editor
