My granddaughter loved murder mysteries and this one got an "ooo!" when I gave it to her. I'm looking forward to finding more by the same author. The book came quickly and in excellent condition.
My 8 year old who enjoys Enid Blyton school series liked this. She’s wanting to know if there are more books in the series.
My niece absolutely loves her parrot club box. Every month I get a call from her saying thank you and how excited she is too make the new recipe.
Would highly recommend Parrot Street to everyone!!
SCARY TIME TWISTER
This is a scary story and it's full of mystery, because you don't know if Tom is seeing a ghost, or if he's imagining things, or if time has got twisted, but in the end you know time got twisted and that’s the most intriguing of all. Once I got into this story, I didn’t want to stop reading, even though there were some quite sad bits about Tom’s mum. In the middle, Tom had so many problems I didn’t know how he was ever going to sort them all out. I thought he was very brave and he turned out to be super ingenius, but I won’t say how or it will give too much away. I liked Vicky too, because she got angry but was forgiving and very adventurous. The three bad bullies at school made me laugh in the end. But here’s a warning: there are one or two parts where it’s so scary IT’S A SHOCK!
Nearly my favourite characters were Benjie, the cellar boy, and his Captain Rat. Captain Rat, I want you for my rat, you are so clever and loyal, and I really nearly cried for you. I soooo wanted Benjie to survive. Even though he’s been locked up for ages, he’s full of life. I wish there was more about what happened to him. I really really hope Mary Cathleen Brown will write another story about everything that happened to Benjie. Maybe she could write a story where Vicky gets a time twist and it’s about all that happened next to Benjie???
I really liked the activity pack that came with the book especially the astronomy puzzle in it because it made me look up the word Supernova and Hypergalaxy and the pictures are amazing, so I understand why Tom wants to be an astronomer. The pack had some good ideas for what to think about, especially what the future holds for Tom. I think he’ll go far, very far – as far as Mars?? But I hope he comes back, because I might want to marry him!
This book is really different, it’s exciting, it makes you wonder about time twisting, it’s full of colourful characters, a few mean ones, a really scary one, three or four people you love and really really want things to go right for, and a brilliant ending - I loved it!

Destiny Ink: Sleepover Surprise chapter book and activity pack
This is the second time I’ve bought one of these sets and both 6 year olds have been delighted!
I read it before giving it to a 9 yr old friend as is my custom with books I don’t know , I thought itwas good and she tells me she is reading and enjoying it
Our 8 year-old grandson read 'How to be a genius kid' in two days and said it was the best book he'd ever read. He has started asking lots of good questions and it has fuelled his interest in all-things scientific.
The book was for a present and hasn’t been handed over yet.
I was impressed by the ‘feel’ of Parrot Street which was why I chose to buy the book from them. I wasn’t disappointed as their service was excellent.
Due to problems when renewing subscription I was sent this pin great quality and customer service
My 6 year old finds the school reading books boring so I decided to order this as a one-off. It's been brilliant - he gets it out and wants to read. He's even taken it into school to show his teacher. He's a good reader so I'm pleased he's finding it interesting. We haven't done the activities yet, but they look good!
Excellent book, I read a chapter a night to my 5year old daughter, she loved the map and uses her imagination while listening to me reading, by chapter 5 she was reading some sentences with me!
Brilliant book lots to keep interest.
This is the second subscription I have ordered for my grandson, he absolutely loves them!
Such a wonderful gift idea. Giving the gift of reading is super and this option allows you to do it at the lastminute, if you happen to be put of ideas.
I just love these fun totes for my grandchildren to carry around their treasured books. They’re colourful, well-made and original. My only criticism is that a blue version was unavailable - and blue’s a popular colour.
I brought a one off book and pack to see if daughter would like it. After receiving it my daughter and I love it. Book was great for her reading ability and age and the activities kept us busy for hours. I would recommend
Gorgeous gift sets for kids - excellent value for money
I bought this book for my 13 year old daughter. I've started to read it too. The story starts quickly, (in the 1st 2 chapters.) the story keeps you interested by the changeable pace and there are no scary/shocker characters. The two main characters show friendship, caring and respect. I've not finished the book yet but I'm intrigued how the story will end!
Well Done to James Nicol for another very good young teenager book.
It is an amazing story about the hardships of life in India after WW1. You can really connect to Sanjiv’s story and it makes your heart sore when Amil learns how to read the wind. It is a lovely book and it shows the cruelty in which some factory owners treated their employees back then. I love this book and will definitely recommend it to my friends. It is a top tier read and a must read book for 9 to 11 year olds!
It was an amazing book and I really like the concept of The End. You can really connect to Rowena’s tales about love and life before The End and it adds that extra little something to the plot. Overall it is an amazing read and I will definitely recommend this book to my friends. This is a must read book for 10 to 11 year olds!👍
