"A dyslexia-friendly funny read for anyone who has ever thought they’d easily survive in the wilderness — take the incident with the foraging as your warning to leave it to the professionals!" – Irish Examiner

"A hilarious, wilderness adventure which will definitely make readers appreciate their home comforts as well as enjoy the great outdoors (minus eating a slug and tummy troubles in the bush!). With Jenny’s stories, you know you get belly laughs and plenty of heart, which Bigfoot and the Wild Boys has in abundance." — Check 'Em Out Books, blog

"A funny yet thoughtful story of the importance of self-belief and integrity. It’s better to be true to yourself than someone false and the only person whose opinion really matters is your own. Maybe Joe isn’t so average after all." — Scope for Imagination, blog

"Bigfoot and the Wild Boys is great fun, as one would expect from this author, but it also conveys a wise message about popularity and the importance of one’s own self-esteem rather than others’ opinions." — A Library Lady, blog
