The Remarkable Life and Times of ELIZA ROSE
I have recently finished this fantastic book by Mary Hooper and I love it! Set in the 17th Century Mary Hooper's descriptions of the clothes, sights, smells, and general life of London are brilliant. I would recommend this book to a wide range of readers, (mostly girls), from 12, (I being 13), to adults. The journey taken by this exquisite character I enjoyed throughly and could barely take ...

you won't be able to put this down
The sequel to AT THE SIGN OF THE SUGARED PLUM is just as good and carries on the wonderful adventure of Hannah as she grows up to learn different things in different enviroments.

She'll love it and feel the same feelings as Hannah. ...

Walker Books Ltd, 1998

A Great Book !
I think this book is very entertaining and interesting since the adventures of Tabitha being as a black cat is funny. Also, it spellbinds me because I want to find out how Tabitha could turn into a cat as well as how she could return to a normal person. Besides, I can learn some vocabularies and word phases from the author, Mary Hooper! Therefore, I highly recommend my relatives and friends to ...

They soon discover a talent for ghost hunting and have adventures that are simple enough for young readers but imaginative enough to keep them ...

Megan 2: V. Good Book
This book is a great sequel to the first Megan book by Mary Hooper. The basic story line of the first book is there's a girl called Megan who's pregnant. The book ends just after the baby is born. This book is all about what happens after the birth of the baby and all the dilemma's faced.It's a really good book but at the start I thought perhaps it was being written as if life as perfect and it ...
