I’ve nearly wet my knickers twice so far from laughing.

The real colour of childhood. Hilarious and authentic.

Can we hear some more of those stories please?

I love your ‘Shirl the Girl’ stories!
SO much more engaging than most of the children's books at my son's school. I was entertained by all the words and phrases that separate Australian from American English, especially viewed from a child's perspective!

With this book you feel you are in it with the characters.
It’s alive and animated.

This book is incredible!

Stinky is a really good character. He is like us: curious and he likes to make stuff. I really like Prudence. She does dance and she’s a different sort of character from the others. 
Shirl used to be very girly but now she’s not. I would give this book nine out of ten. I think we can make the next Shirl book ten out of ten!

This book is so good - you should write sequels, seriously. I am liking it as much as my jar of fantastic medlar jelly even though it tastes less of medlars and more of dirt, so far. I loved it. I think it's fantastic. Because it's not fantastic. It's so honest and real. Joyous. Thank you!

Fabulous! I liked how it went from easy reading to more advanced reading. Shirl becomes very caring and open-minded. She’s a girl who wears pink but then plays in the dirt.
Stinky is mischievous and curious. They are all really good characters but all really different.
