Reviews for Evie and the Animals

'Touching, funny and packed with memorable characters.' -- The Sunday Mail 'The perfect package of happiness.' -- Olivia Colman ‘This highly edible story of a girl who wants to save the planet … is most timely and will go down well with fans of Greta Thunberg.’ -- The Times (UK) '... has its fair share of thrills and spills but also plenty of important points to make about the interconnectedness of the natural world, environmental degradation, and humankind’s mistreatment of animals.' -- Financial Times
