You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! Do take the opportunity to discuss Pizza and Taco’s responses to Hamburger, perhaps they could be more inclusive. Each chapter features a new location and another interactive page and finding Chaffy equals finding the object.Combining adorable illustrations with lots of gentle humour, the story is not only engaging from the very first page, but offers interactive elements where the reader is asked to help Max find Chaffy. Each successive chapter builds on the story of where Chaffy belongs, with the charming conclusion being that he belongs with his soulmate Max! Expensive but entirely worth it, this spectacular retelling of the Persian invasion of Greece from the perspective of Golgo, a Spartan queen, marries a numinous sense of classical legend with satisfyingly grim accounts of Spartan training, warfare and sacrifice. A few years ago, I was struggling to find books which sparked and held the interest of one of the children in my Y6 class.
