It is a very real portrayal of how challenging it is to give up plastic, but it shows us it can be done” – Saffia Farr * JUNO Magazine *“With the pizzazz and humour that make his Dragonsitter books so popular … there are great illustrations throughout, and it all makes for a fast, entertaining and positive read. Hooray for Hope Jones!” – Andrea Reece * LoveReading4Schools *“Children will love reading this candid, funny and relatable blog … Hope’s story captures the environmental zeal young people hold and provides a compendium of tips for those wanting to make changes in their own homes. It’s the perfect book to inspire conversations about activism” * BookTrust *“Powerful, inspirational … an amusing and engaging story which cannot fail to have a positive impact on the reader” * The School Librarian *
