AMANDA COMMANDER - THE PURPLE INVITATION

Readers in the target age range will empathise with the ups and downs throughout the story and will know how it feels when things go wrong and it can seem like the end of the world. In this story the themes of courage, friendship, kindness and communication all lead to a positive conclusion with lessons learnt by all involved.

At only 69 pages long this is a neat little book to explore the daily issues and choices faced by all young people in a way that is accessible to a variety of readers. The chapters are short, there are plenty of illustrations, and the presentation includes handwriting, checklists and text messages to maintain interest alongside traditional text.” - Kylie Grant (ReadPlus Reviews)
