Product Description
Review
"Zak is a story of considerable interest and value to children and adults alike. It is a kind and human story delivered through the fascinating self-reflection and empathy of Zak, the 11 year old central character. It is highly entertaining, but also beautifully demonstrates the wisdom and ways of respect, acceptance, warmth and humility. I will read it again and again." -- Hilton Davies, Professor of Child Health Psychology, Kings College, London and Director of the Centre for Parent and Child Support. "I believe this to be a classic which promotes creativity, peacefulness and well being in our children. It is a fantastic school novel or gift for 7 year olds to adults." -- Connect Magazine, April 2007. "Original, quirky and amusing - one to be recommended." -- The School Librarian. "Celebrates the beauty of the natural world and the possibility of mankind interacting with it in a more magical and respectful way." -- The Ecologist. "What an amazing book!! I read it a year ago when I had just turned 12. I thought I would find it difficult to read and believe as I was growing up and didn't really imagine any more...how wrong could I have been?? Thank you to Bridget Belgrave who let her imagination fly and let mine do the same!!!" -- Jazmin Martell, age 13, Amazon review, April 2007."

A story with potential to be as successful as some of those we have come to regard as classics.

Excellent for children and adults,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zak (Paperback)
I loved the way that really important life issues were addressed with such a light touch, and in a way that never interfered with the very exciting narrative. I hope many, many children and their parents may enjoy this beautiful story.

Zak is a treasure for all children.,
This review is from: Zak (Paperback)
I just finished reading Zak. It is a wonderful book full of wonders. Bridget Belgrave, if you are on the wire, thank you for enriching us so wonderly! It would be an unfulfilling attempt if I tried to describe all the many interwoven qualities of Zak. I will just list some. The book fulfils a need of mine that reading material is available to young children which stimulate their ability to wonder and think about humans, nature, social skills, thoughts, reading, writing, and natural science. The book is kept in an unusually accessible, yet interesting writing style that also stimulates vocabulary learning. This book is a treasure to early readers. I think that it also a treasure to late readers and children who has been categorized as being dyslexic. So few books are available for this group of children and almost none that brings the children joy and interest in reading. Zak by Bridget Belgrave is a gift for all of us.Jakob Bohr, Humlebaek, Denmark

WOW .... WOW .... WOW,
By
This review is from: Zak (Paperback)
Wow ....... what an amazing book !! I read it a year ago when I had just turned 12, it came it to our house as my younger brother is Zak too!! I thought that I would find it difficult to read and believe as I was growing up and didn't really imagine anymore .... how wrong could I have been ?? It was great ....... Bridget made this book really believable and managed to capture my imagination (something that's hard to do)!!! My younger brother had it read to him although some parts were changed as he was very sensitive to nightmares at the time. Now we think that he is ready to have it read properly and enjoy the book to its full possibilities. Thank you everyone who put this book into print and of course to Bridget Belgrave who let her imagination fly and let mine do the same !!!! Sam's Daughter - Jazmin 13
