Lucy Bee and the Secret Gene

Description

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.”
