Comic Classics: Treasure Island Press Reviews

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
