Reviews for Oliver:

‘A stunning and profoundly moving portrayal of glass children. Deborah Kelly has deeply immersed herself in her characters. The result renders the story authentic and pure. The prose shines in the light that Tilly’s narrative voice creates’

Kids’ Book Review

‘Deborah Kelly shines a light on a feisty, independent and totally relatable character who many readers will fall in love with, no matter what their family structure may be’

Reading Time

‘The dramatic story-line is incredibly powerful and the complexities of life with a mute autistic sibling make for an emotional story’

ReadPlus

‘A brilliant novel that will appeal to confident young primary aged readers yet also strike a distinct chord with those of the middle grade age group. Fast paced, funny, and deeply satisfying, this story touches on the subject of Autism and its impact on family life and sibling mental well being….each of the characters emit charm, chaos, and above all, love. This is a story about remaining strong, sticking together, taking chances, family relationships and dreaming big that flows and ebbs as gently and enticingly as an incoming tide. Highly recommended’
