The trick of writing as a child is not easy to pull off, but Wilson does it triumphantly
- Independent on Sunday on THE SUITCASE KID
Honest, angry, sometimes sad and always very readable. There is also a near-happy ending, which is both moving and for the most part credible. Adults could learn something here about the emotional turmoil suffered by a child with divided loyalties
- TES on THE SUITCASE KID
Even the most resistant page-turner would find this difficult to put down
- The Sunday Times on THE LOTTIE PROJECT
