My mom is a friend of Margret Roberts and we visited her one afternoon the other day, with my group of my friends from school. We were doing a project she was very nice to us. She was fierce but she has a twinkle in her eye like Dumbledore but shes not so old. We like her. She read to us from her new book and told us that we could bye it soon. So I am going to get it for Christmas from my mom. My teachr says I can read it to the class. Love, Jessica from Randburg

I loved it! I read it to my young neice and nephew (my kids are too big now) and they got very involved in the simple plot that contained much to learn about. Why I like it is that it does not get too involved and convoluted like so many children's books today - which are really adults books, posing as kid's books. It says what it means to say and that inspired my two to fight for good even though they are small. At the same time, they know how they can use the natural resources around us, in a very South African context, for different things. What a treat. Am looking forward to the next one ! Go Margaret!
