A heart-warming read showing children sometimes know better than grown-ups * Press Association * Absolutely delightful . . . Everyone should read this book; it holds laughter and tears, but above all, it has something similar to a beating heart. This is not a book to be missed! * Novelicious * A challenging and moving story about the power of love between generations * Image magazine * Deals with serious themes including family life and the treatment of the elderly in society. The novel addresses these issues with sensitivity and good humour reminiscent of Mark Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time * Irish Tatler * [An] understated and likeable tale that just might restore your faith in human nature * Bella * The characterisation and dialogue make it easy to feel empathy for the family and readers will cheer Milo on to achieve his goal * Sun * It is impossible not to fall in love with nine-year-old Milo in this touching novel * Stylist * Sharp, funny and hugely moving, this is a must read * Fabulous * A life-affirming read . . .

Beautifully written and complete with a powerful message, What Milo Saw will make you think, and then pick up the phone to call your mum. * Daily Express * A poignant and very clever read - you'll fall in love with Milo! * Company * From the first page, we were hooked . . . If you loved The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, this is for you . . . Brilliant! ***** * Heat * I defy you not to fall in love with Milo . . . What Milo Saw is a reminder to us all that in life, perspective is everything. A modern-day fable and undoubtedly a future classic * Clare Mackintosh, author of Sunday Times Top Ten bestselling I Let You Go *
