The Midnight Owl

Stand aside princesses and ballet dancers, elves could be the next big thing if the 'Lily the Elf' series is anything to go by. -- Katie Haydon * Books+Publishing *
Delightfully delicate like the tiny elf, this story promises readers, mainly girls of the 5+ age, a new and interesting character that becomes involved in challenging adventures with a positive outcome. -- Anastasia Gonis * Buzz Words *
These are delightful stories dealing with overcoming problems, fears and working things out. -- ReadPlus * ReadPlus *
Emergent readers looking for a new character to love should try Lily the Elf. -- Helen Spiers * Otago Daily Times *
This is a lovely story for your younger girls about courage, bravery, relationships and about how, in their own special way, grandparents share and encourage us. -- Lamont * Lamont *
Both stories use simple, but interesting text, with lots of illustrative support, perfect for young readers transitioning from first readers to the chapter book format. Lily is a loveable, honest and quirky character, and the relationship between her and Granny, with Dad playing a supporting role, is lovely. -- Sally Murphy * Aussie Reviews *
These stories are ideal to be shared with for 4-6 year olds, but importantly they are also very suitable for beginning readers to read for themselves. Not only is the print large and easy to read, the vocabulary is also easily accessible with black and white illustrations that are supportive of the text. -- Reading Time * Reading Time *
