'Hilarious! Jack Noel is a star' Jim Smith, author of the bestselling Barry Loser series
PRAISE FOR GREAT EXPECTATIONS
A funny, thought-provoking treat, it's the ideal way into [Dickens]', Imogen Russell Williams, Guardian
'Buy a copy of Jack Noel's retelling of Great Expectations before I set the dogs on you. Now, begone!', Philip Ardagh, Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning author
'It is BRILLIANT!', Jenny Pearson, author of The Super Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates
'Jack Noel's brilliantly witty art perfectly complements Dickens' Great Expectations, making this a fab KS2 text to sit alongside the classic. Brilliant for dyslexic kids who may struggle with Dickens' prose . . . this book could bring a generation of kids to the classics', Abi Elphinstone, author of Rumblestar, Sky Song and the Dreamsnatcher trilogy
