Grace's Escape
'The story moves at a fast pace and has many commendable brave smart girls at its core. Young readers will undoubtedly find the cute dog, the stationery shop and the Willy Wonka party very appealing. Louise Park successfully recreates the 1890’s with attention to detail. The other major plot line she uses is integrating literary greats Beatrix Potter, James Barrie and May Gibbs into the action. In reality Castle Faerie was a gathering place for writers in those times. The book is also littered with literary tidbits and author quotes.

Grace's Secrets
I couldn’t stop reading this book even though it made me cry! I love Castle Faerie and Glen Hollow. I just wanted to know what was going to happen next because things just kept happening one after the other. I wish I could time travel like Grace did. It would be so cool to go back to the castle in the olden days like she did but I don’t think I could do all the things she did. I’m not that brave. This book was a massive adventure that kept me holding my breath until the end. I would give it a ten out of ten. I want the next book NOW!

Harriet Clare
I am the proud mum of a very brave eight-year-old girl named Elaina. I am writing to you to thank you for sharing your talent and bringing laughter and joy to my little darling when she needed it the most. Recently my precious girl relapsed. During her stay in the hospital, trying desperately to recover sight to her left eye she spent her days reading (amazingly). With sight in one eye and immense passion for your books (Harriet Clare), Elaina managed to complete book 3&4 in the series in the last ten days of her treatment. Harriet Clare brings her so much joy and happiness, warming her little heart when she has needed it the most. So from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for putting a smile on her face, thank you for the beautiful giggles and the inspiration you bring. It is going to be a long journey to recovery for her, but I know Harriet Clare not only eases the road but encourages fun along the way!
