Miraculous Miranda - Tapa blanda

I defy any reader not to love this positive story and narrator Miranda's trenchant, witty, and vulnerable voice along with it. We love Siobhan Parkinson in these 'ere parts and in Miraculous Miranda, she's given us another little jewel of a middle grade novel. (The Bookbag)

A lovely celebration of the power of the imagination, and of determination, with a strong lead character whose voice shines through the pages of the book, encouraging us all to think more creatively. (Parents In Touch)

Parkinson has a flavour all her own. Miranda is a loveable, flawed, sympathetic narrator. In a sea of mostly mawkish young adult novels about cancer, Parkinson's frank take for younger readers is a breath of fresh Irish air (Alex O'Connell The Times Saturday Review)

...there is no shortage of empathy here; Parkinson writes to rather than at children, alongside rather than for them. (Claire Hennessy Irish Times)

Full of thought-provoking and touching little moments, it's a feel good book with a difference. (Phil May Read it Daddy)

Miranda is such a vibrant heroine ... Parkinson writes to rather than at children, alongside rather than for them (Irish Times Weekend Review)

What a lovely book! Siobhán Parkinson's Miraculous Miranda is a feel-good and funny novel (Bookwitch)

Miranda is a gorgeous character with a magnificent turn of phrase (Inis)

Sensitive and touching with a glorious sympathetic heroine who will really grab reader's hearts. (Parents in Touch)
