The ‘My Mum’ series
Brill – will have you hooked! - Girlstalk
A popular and very funny series. - www.tesco.com
There are some books that are so funny you can’t put them down. My Mum and Other Horror Stories by Meg Harper is definitely one of them.
When the follow-ups, My Mum and the Gruesome Twosome and My Mum and the Hound from Hell were published, there was no let up in the humour. - The Baptist Times
‘I liked the way they were a bit like Jacqueline Wilson in that they were about teenage problems. But with Jacqueline Wilson, she always focuses on the down sides. Meg Harper focuses on the positive points. I can relate more to it…She’s so good you can imagine people really saying what’s said in the books. These books are really relevant.’ - A young reader in The Baptist Times
Each book is equally hilarious and brilliantly written. An excellent read for all youngsters. - Christian Marketplace

St Jenni Series

‘Animal Crazy’ is one of the funniest books I have read in ages. Personally, I can’t wait to read the rest of the ‘St Jenni’ series and am sure young children will feel the same. - www.surefish.co.uk
St Jenni: Super Hero
The book races along, peppered with just the sort of dialogue that primary children use. Mcafferty’s line illustrations…are just asking for a reader to colour them in! A good read. Books for Keeps – 3 stars

This funny, readable book is the second in a series about this very loveable heroine. - Families Together
St Jenni: Chilling Out
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series. It is a simple and interesting way to get to grips with the lives of the Saints in an amusing and practical way. Hildegarde of Bingen is one of the saints featured in this book and I cannot help but think that the doughty lady would have been amused by the story. - London Diocesan Board for Schools Books and Resources
