Product Description

Review

What an original captivating and spellbinding voice. Bird is fearless like 'the girl who dropped her ice-cream down a volcano and leaped in after it'. She's dangerous and witty too with a rare quality of imagination. This is a wonder, a beautifully written book of poems. - Lemn Sissay --Lemn Sissay

5.0 out of 5 starsA thrilling set of poems
By Paul Mason on 10 Jun. 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
A thrilling set of poems by a young person who clearly has a special talent. Wit and verbal inventiveness combine to produce an anthology that is definitely out of the ordinary. Longer poems are engaging and do not lag. I heartily commend Caroline's work to anyone who wants to be jolted out of the run of the mill. I give it 5.
