Praise for Milly and the Mermaids

  • OPAL MOONBABY is one of the most charming children's books that I have read in a long time ... This book is truly a delight and will entertain all age groups. - SERENDIPITY REVIEWS on Opal MoonbabyI want you to remember the name of Opal Moonbaby - she's a brilliant comic creation ... Opal sparkles and she's totally original. I loved her. - THE BOOKBAG on OPAL MOONBABYThe story of an alien who comes to earth on a mission to make friends, this is a rather lovely debut. Quirky and very charming, Opal is something of a futuristic Pippi Longstocking, which can only be a good thing. - THE BOOKSELLER on OPAL MOONBABY
