Reviews

“This is just the kind of adventure that all children will love. I can see Lyna Lankylegs and her gang taking readers to places they have never been—1950’s Singapore is hardly written about for children.” —Eva Wong Nava, award-winning children’s book author

“A real big story with lots of biographical memories woven through it. Very evocative writing.” —James Lee, author of the Mr Mystery and Mr Midnight series

“Lyna Lankylegs is a force of nature, and I can’t wait to see what kind of adventures she gets into next! Linda Locke has a wonderful knack for making her characters come alive and so relatable for even today’s children. The Bright Hill Gang are not only lovable and big-hearted, they will remind you—and teach the younger generation—of simpler and kinder times.” —Eldes Tran, book editor
