“Completely delightful ❤️ - Kate Gordon, author
“An intelligent and entertaining read, grounded in a relatable reality of Australian life, friendship, family and onset of illness. - Brydie Wright, About the Book Radio Northern Beaches
”As a Middle School teacher, I love that in her books, Cecily introduces children to essential social skills, without lecturing. Her books are highly entertaining, age appropriate and clean, offering some helpful tips for our children at such a crucial age. Cecily's books are the ones that you just can't put down and the first I recommend to my 'popular girls'. They love them and they learn from them. Highly recommended.
”Lola in The Middle is an inspirational story, about getting through tough times and standing your ground, despite what people and circumstances might say. I highly recommend it to anyone going through something difficult as Lola's story proves that survival is always attainable.
