Mum is having a baby, Sage is asking a million questions and Saffron's eccentric and peculiar aunties have just arrived from Argentina. But that's ok, because Saffron has everything under control...
If speeding tuk tusk and collapsing cathedrals don't cause enough mayhem, Saffron must also cope with the arrival of a new member of the family. A delightful sequel to Victoria M. Azaro's "Saffron".
Victoria sent me these articles last night. It's about my book. People that know a lot about reading and writing wrote these. Have a look. I think they quite like the book.
The first book about Saffron and her international adventures was published in 2009. It introduced a quirky new narrative voice and I am delighted to say this second book is just as funny and entertaining as the first... Victoria Azaro also created the fascinating black ink cartoon illustrations that enliven nearly every page of text. The pictures reward close study... Heartily recommended for girls aged about eight to ten who like something a little bit different.

... This book is quite odd, but full of laughs, adventure and sticky situations. I would recommended for 7 to 11 years olds.

... Eccentricity and mayhem with collage illustrations. Ages 7 to 10.

And this is the second book in the series. One day I called Victoria. I was a little bit upset.
She said, "Saffron, darrrling, just tell me what's wrong".
So I told her. I told her everything. And then I kept telling her everything else. Especially the traveling bit. Then one day this book arrives on the post. Have a look!
... I think that this is an exceptional book. I love the fact that whenever Saffron travels around the world, Victoria M. Azaro adds in lots of detail about the country that Saffron is visiting, and in an attention grabbing way. The only criticism I have of this book is that it flies by so quickly when you read it. When you've finished this book I promise that you'll be begging for more!
