Reviews
Barbara Murison, Around the Bookshops ~ “The quest keeps the reader guessing until the last pages. This is one of those stories you simply do not want to put down.”
Bob Doherty, Dominion Post ~ “Lucy decides she looks nothing like her parents and has either been adopted or swapped at birth. Her mother and father handle it well, but Lucy remains unconvinced. A school science project gives Lucy a chance to compile a family tree and investigate family traits and DNA profiling. A fascinating story that also highlights childhood friends, vandalism and bullying.”
New Zealand Society of Genealogists ~ “An awesome book that is just right to encourage kids into family history. It’s a good read and will get kids thinking about how all this genes and DNA stuff works.”
John MacIntyre, National Radio NZ ~ “This is a delightful story of the little dramas children have in their lives – nagging doubts about identity, loyalty, the shifting nature of friendship – which underpin most dramas at primary school. Lucy Bee & the Secret Gene explores these and resolves them. ”
Rene Nol, Otago Daily Times ~ “Anne Ingram handles Lucy’s story with great skill and a light touch. You will want to know where that hair came from.”
Pam Coleman, Youth Coordinator for Kapiti Libraries ~ “I really enjoyed this book. It’s beautifully written. It’s funny. I loved it. What I really liked too was that it looked at bullying from both sides. It had real insight.”
