Glory Gardens 3 - The Big Test

It really doesn't look like being Hooker's season. Not only does he spend the first match of the league suffering a dropped-catch jinx but now there' civil war in the team over the selections. Sometimes captaining the GLORY GARDENS Cricket Team isn't the fun you might think. It's not the matches that prove the most trouble for poor Hooker - it's the infighting. He has one solution that might work. but making Ohbert captain in his place? That's not strategy - that's suicide.

Reviews

Couldn't recommend them highly enough

—— Test Match Special, BBC Radio 4

As well as getting involved with the nicely written characters, the books cleverly provide tips and a glossary of terms and fielding positions

—— Wisden Cricketer

A breezy story filled with summer fun. I loved it!

—— Chicklish

There were really no faults with this . . . Still, if you are looking for a flighty, summer read full of Kelly Ann's disastrous (but incredibly funny) adventures, pick this up!

—— Booked Up!

It takes a writer with the superb skill and sensitivity of Chambers to adapt the Cyrano de Bergerac story and turn it into a modern tale of grief, growth and acceptance . . . Great tenderness, authentic dialogue and elegantly crafted plotting. A book to be read and re-read

—— Sally Morris , Daily Mail

A wonderful book about friendship, words, and our deepest, most hidden selves. Elegant, precise prose and wonderful dialogue in which space has as much to say as words. This is a book to return to

—— The Bookbag

A heart-warming contemporary love story

—— Booked Up!

Dying to Know You is a thoughtful and insightful novel and after turning the last page I was left with the impression that just maybe this writer’s story could be Chambers’ too

—— So Many Books, So Little Time

A gentle tale stuffed full of drama, elements of coming-of-age, dealing with grief and first love that make it irresistible

—— My Favourite Books

This book is interesting, fun, and very insightful. Chambers takes an inventive approach to his writing

—— Examiner.com

Truly brilliant and unforgettable

—— Fiction Fascination

This book is like nothing else I have ever read . . . An excellent YA read

—— The Overflowing Library

A real page turner

—— Bliss

Chambers delivers yet another intellectually satisfying novel with equal parts philosophy and repartee

—— The Horn Book

A feelgood and story that quietly challenges a whole range of touchy subjects and social taboo

—— Sugarscape
