- Reviews -
Always such a treat to read a Caroline Hulse novel! I loved The Adults and Like A House On Fire, but I think this is my fave of them all. Quirky, original and charming, with plenty of school years nostalgia. I could not love Fiona more. -- Sarah Turner * The Unmumsy Mum * All the Fun of the Fair is an absolute JOY. Funny, clever, and with its mid-90s setting, brilliantly nostalgic. The hilarious, beleaguered protagonist, Fiona Larson, is the new Adrian Mole. Though she' d probably say Adrian had it easy, being a boy and all. . . * Nicola Mostyn * Fiona Larson is one of the most memorable characters I' ve read for a long time. If you liked Adrian Mole or The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time then you' ll love All the Fun of the Fair. * Emma Cooper * Fresh, unique, powerful and incredibly poignant. And, of course, hilarious too! Fiona is a wonderful character, completely three-dimensional and real, who will no doubt capture many hearts * Beth O' Leary * I LOVED this book SO much. I defy anyone not to fall completely in love with Fiona Larson. Even when she' s being a bit awful. Especially then. I laughed out loud throughout. Read it. It makes everything feel that bit better. * Charlotte Levin *
