Reviews

'This fabulous collaboration with the National Theatre is a rip-roaring romp […] Beautifully illustrated and full of fun, Lola really does turn out to be the G.O.A.T.' WRD Magazine

'What a brilliant idea to introduce children the areas of a theatre they are never likely to see - but which are vitally important when putting on a show… I have never seen a book do anything similar for small children - a great idea for all our young theatre goers.' The School Librarian

'Created in association with The National Theatre, this fun adventure set on opening night, has most of the action taking place behind the scenes. […] Guilherme Karsten’s funny, vibrant artwork is suitably dramatic.' Red Reading Hub

'This is a lovely book to share or use at story time, in early years and KS1 classrooms, to talk about theatre and plays.' Just Imagine
