  'I was howling with excitement when the latest hilarious tale from award-winning Pamela Butchart dropped through my letter box. However, I wasn't quite quick enough in grabbing it to read as it was snatched away from under my nose by my son. He then proceeded to sit there for the next couple of hours, reading and giggling, until he'd finished.' - Library Girl and Book Boy
  'Despite being considerably older than the target audience myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and know my younger self would have loved it even more. This is brilliant, inclusive fiction, sure to go down well with boys and girls, lovers of laughter and lovers of mysteries, certain to soften even reluctant readers as you giggle along with Izzy and friends.

A great one for reading aloud with a whole class, especially one about embark on its first residential trip, but equally fun for newly independent readers to discover.' - The School Librarian
