Review

'Hannah Plus One is a delightful, funny, finely crafted and beautifully observed study of a child who cannot articulate what she feels but whose behaviour sends clear signals to everyone she meets. · well paced narrative, is written with a marvelous economy of words, zappy dialogue and a finely tuned understanding of school and family relationships.'
