Praise for ‘Invisible Girl’:

Praise for ‘Shine’:
“[Kate Maryon] understands a child's deepest feelings, including the negative ones, and she allows Tiff to run through the gamut of them as she slowly works her way through feelings of abandonment, loneliness, fear and anger, until eventually happiness and love can resurface. Readers will recognise all her thoughts. It's an uplifting story which begins with a huge disaster and ends with a new start for everyone. It will reassure and comfort its readers and it exactly inhabits their emotional landscape... I think tween girls are going to love it.” [Four stars] TheBookBag.co.uk

“I read Shine in 4 days and I think that it is amazing. I was glued to it, which made my mum quite annoyed especially when I was supposed to be getting to sleep.” Olivia, aged 10

“Shine is favourite book in the world! It is the first long book that I have actually read all the way through. Usually I start reading and get bored half way through. This is a great book and I would DEFINITELY recommend it! Kiera, aged 10

“Shine is amazing. I really loved it so much.” Dana, aged 10
