Praise for Bella Balistica and the Indian Summer:
'Confidently playing along the boundaries of the possible… Facing everyday
problems, Bella’s solutions are singular – but her thoughts and feelings are
real… a girl who loves her mum, longs to meet her dad, and worries about the
state on the world. Go Bella! We want more of her'
