“Short chapters, a steady pace, with challenges many kids face about fitting in, Just Remember is perfect for Intermediate age (Yr 5-6) up. Mix in a crime being committed, a little magic and a lot of hope and this is an enjoyable quick read.” Adele Broadbent, Whatbooknext
“I really enjoyed the innocent, natural way that magic flowed through the story. This can often be hard to achieve in books where the plot is based in a realistic setting and in a location that exists. Because of this, I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan, as both authors insert magic into the modern world in ways that flow and work well with our time.” Natalya Newman for Hooked on Books
“A perfectly paced tale that had my heart in its grasp from the very first chapter and has yet to let go of it.” Jessica Barbosa, Readers Favorite
“I recommend Just Remember for anyone looking for a light, yet meaningful read. You don’t need to be a fan of mermaids or fantasy to enjoy this story; it is suitable for any reader above 10, and I think readers of all ages would appreciate its positive messages.” Gemma Lovewell for Hooked on Books
“Just Remember is a story that will be loved on bookshelves around the nation bringing together a uniquely Kiwi feel with magic, wonder and beautiful story telling.” Chris Reed, NZ Booklovers
