Gem Reece-Holloway's Most Popular Reviews

A great sequel to The Satsuma Complex, the story continues with the same characters and some great news additions. Loved it.

As one would expect from Bob Mortimer, this book is amusing, clever and a really good story. I loved it and will now go on to read the second in the series!

A great dive into history via heroic deeds of manly men. From the Romans to more modern day battles and adventures, this book is informative and not overly boggy. I'm a girl and very much enjoyed it...not just a book for boys!

I very much enjoyed this book, an often funny (as to be expected from Sandi Toksvig), lovely tale of modern-day friendship.

Loved this book, wonderful characters and storyline.
