Nikki Sheehan

An intriguing subject for a children's novel and one handled with invention in Nikki Sheehan's debut novel...  revealing and touching. 

Martin Chilton, The Telegraph

This is a remarkably engaging, original and moving debut novel, posing important questions about imagination, isolation and grief, yet the author handles her material with such a witty, light touch... I loved it. 

Sally Morris, The Daily Mail

If you are planning to read Who Framed Klaris Cliff? get ready to have your mind blown. LITERALLY.

Dylan, age 9, the Book Walrus

This book is just as powerful as imagination. Sheehan has written a book of integrity here.

Orla, Blame My Bookshelf

There are elements of this story that will stay with me forever. The main characters are soulfully written, each burrowing into your heart.
