"Fascinating childhood" The author expresses real feelings and observations while growing up between two continents, East Africa and England. It makes for delightful and insightful reading. Her unique writing style is fun, easy to read and evocative.

"I love this book!" After having read all the books by Charmiene Maxwell-Batten, this book was really special. It embodies the innocence of growing up, including the trials, tribulations as well as the excitement and dreams of future possibilities. As a teenager, I also lived in the same area of Dorset as Charmiene - and her story 'Snowdrops' reminded me of Marshwood and those bright white winters.

Charmiene doesn't just write... Charmiene Weaves. You cannot possibly put this one down. Touching, funny, and insightful, this one is a Must Own.

"A delightful glimpse of childhood" This book highlights events and reflections of a childhood spent in different countries. It was hard to put down; I read it from cover to cover. This book will ignite the readers's childhood reflections - it is thougthfully and candidly written.

A lovely book! For anyone who has also spent their childhood living in different places and attending various schools, this book will make you feel right at home. The author's childhood years were spent in two completly different environments and cultures - yet the way children adapt so well to movement and change is admirable.
