She is such a real little character and Craig and Francis make us love and understand her in such a straightforward and original way. If I were using her chart, I'd choose the really smiley face.

I absolutely LOVE this book. It's such a funny, original and clever twist on a classic story. Gina Kaminski is a fab, determined heroine and I love the way she sees the world. I can't recommend this book highly enough and cannot wait to see what Craig and Francis make together next.
- Naomi Jones (Author of The Perfect Fit),
This is a fun, joyous read and establishes a new young heroine of children's books, appealing to all.
- School Library Association, The School Librarian
This is a wonderful book to share with children and would be great to read to a reception class. Gina is neurodivergent, and she is confident and determined to challenge problems and identify solutions and coping strategies. This is an ideal book to empower all children to be the hero of their own story.
