The Misfitz Mysteries
“All who love Enid Blyton will fall on these adventures with glee, especially because they’re much better written."Amanda Craig, The Times
"Josh Lacey's Misfitz adventures starring the extended Amis/Fitzroy clan, a tangled thicket of half-siblings and step-parents, read like a dream. They are at once traditional and modern, with Blytonesque youngsters thwarting crooks and thieves in the era of computers and mobile phones."
James Lovegrove, The Financial Times
"Like Blyton's, the children are intellectual boys and plucky girls, but both story and characters have greater substance than hers. In addition to an exciting adventure readers are reassured that family break-up is not necessarily a disaster - indeed it is the strength of the Misfitz (a name derived from parts of their assorted surnames), who recognize the shortcomings of their parents, accept them, and find strength in the varied experience of the extended family of siblings. This is a series which provides good reading matter for all nine pluses, particularly for boys, but with much to offer girls as well."
