Craig Barr-Green
This is a child-centred story about an autistic protagonist who actively tackles problems, considers solutions and uses coping strategies, presented as a joyful variation on a traditional tale.
Carrie Sellon
This is a comic adventure about resourcefulness, friendship and family loyalty, set against the pressure of possible eviction. Magical potions and their possible use in the pizza shop set up energetic slapstick, while the story gives serious subjects space without presenting humour as belittling them.
