"Her beautifully written novel, BRAVE, rose to the top in the recent judges' meeting. Wild animals and wild children make this a spirited and fiercely fun debut - a worthy winner!"

'A bright new star for young readers. Wendy Constance's prehistoric adventure beat a superb field to win our annual prize.'
 

AMANDA CRAIG, The Times, 23 March 2013

'This story gripped me all the way through, and the way that author had written it made me feel like I was really there watching it all play out in front of me. Sometimes it was scary, sometimes sad, and sometimes exciting. I loved this book very much, and I strongly recommend it to other children of a similar age.'

'I really liked ‘Brave’, as it was a very engaging story with an enthralling plot. The characters all seemed to come alive on the page, making me feel like I was really in the story with them. It was definitely one of the most un-put-downable books I’ve read in a while.'
