Sally Gardner's sales overall for Orion are approaching half a million copies, and she has a devoted readership. Magical Children books appeal equally to boys and girls Sally Gardner described by the Sunday Times as 'an idiosyncratic genius'. 'If life has lost its magic, read 'The Boy Who Could Fly' ... An enchanting bedtime story for children, and essential reading for fun-starved teachers.' Junior Education On 'The Invisible Boy' - 'an enticing tale. What makes Gardner's book special is not just the cleverness of its plot, but its charming linguistic zaniness... It's a pleasure to read - to yourself and aloud.' Sunday Telegraph

'warm, witty and reassuring... a great read.' -- Nicola Morgan LOOK AT A BOOK (The Guardian)
