      What people say about Arturo and the Glitter Glue

      “Arturo is a huge hit in our house…always great to find a book I don’t mind reading over and over at the boys’ request…we look forward to hearing of his next adventure!”

      N Ward

      “We have loved reading about Arturo in our house…Beautiful rhyming and illustrations.”

      C Renee-Schryvers

      “My children are six and eight-years old. They loved the rhyme and cadence of this story and compared it to one of their favourite children’s authors, Julia Donaldson…The story embodies playful mischief, suspense, surprise and a crisply satisfying resolution. The detailed illustrations by Hannah Sames are at once endearing, captivating and whimsical. Our family eagerly awaits a sequel.”

      A Winter

      “Really liked ‘Arturo and the Glitter Glue’. An adventure in rhyme and with such great illustrations.”

      J McCauley

      I grew up in Scotland but I now live in New Zealand. I love reading and I have always written stories for fun, but 'Arturo and the Glitter Glue' is my first children's book.

       

      I studied literature at university, but I still believe that children have all the best stories. There's nothing to beat the magical worlds, dastardly villains, lovable heroes, and fantastical adventures of the books we read when we are young.

       

      Every writer loves to hear from their readers, so please do get in touch with questions, ideas and feedback. I'd love to know what you think of Arturo, and what books and authors you enjoy reading. (Remember to get permission from a parent or carer if you're under 13 years old.)
