A scrumptious world with dollops of charm.
*Michael Mann, author of Ghostcloud*
Yesterday Crumb and the Storm in a Teacup is endlessly enchanting.
The world building is so fresh and inventive, the characters so
charming and individual (I especially loved Pascal the
teapot-turtle and Pepperprew the dragon librarian) that I can't
wait for my next visit to Dwimmerly End!
*Annabel Steadman, author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief*
Yesterday Crumb and the Storm in a Teacup is packed with magic and
imagination from the first page to last. Andy has found the perfect
recipe for a fantastic, adventurous and heart-warming story. I
loved it and I know it will be every young reader's cup of tea.
*Shane Hegarty, author of Boot*
I absolutely loved Yesterday Crumb and the Storm in a Teacup, a
fantastic adventure brimming with whimsy, magic and tea (obvs).
Andy Sagar has poured his imagination into every single page, while
championing chosen family and celebrating our differences. I was
grinning from ear to ear by the end and cannot wait for my next
trip to Dwimmerly End.
*Richard Pickard, author of The Peculiar Tale of the Tentacle Boy*
