Reviews

Encouraging children to find joy in, and celebrate, their differences is so powerful in today's society. Tom inspires this mindset in the most fun, engaging, action-packed way. I would have loved to read this book as a child!
An action-packed new illustrated fiction series for independent readers that explores anxiety – and how to conquer it –through rip-roaring adventure stories!
An energetic adventure, with two-colour illustrations throughout and relatively short, manageable chapters for younger readers. Whilst the story is set in a fun alternative world, Percival manages to cleverly weave in themes of emotional care, as Erika’s bad mood also attracts a dangerous Angermare and she has to learn to manage her own anger in order to defeat it.
I'd happily have this on my bookshelf at school but I would also happily recommend this for any parent to read with or give to their child to read
