‘Billy Bramble is a fantastic book. It gives you an insight

into people who may struggle and how their surroundings

can influence their behaviours and attitudes. Billy Bramble

is a nice boy with an angry, imaginary dog.

Together they battle with certain feelings. I believe everyone

can learn something from this book, not least that

through persisting, eventually, in spite

of hardship, you can achieve.’

– Coby, 12

‘Sally Donovan’s deeply felt story gives us a glimpse of how hard it is for Billy to keep trying and hoping that things might be different. This moving story encapsulates many key themes expressed by vulnerable children and paints a vivid picture of the seeming impossible dilemmas they may be facing. Compelling for children, this book will also be of great value to adults as through Billy they gain insight into the risks children face when they begin to dare to trust.’

– Dr Vivien Norris, Consultant Clinical Psychologist

‘A uniquely original and loveable narrator – Billy Bramble draws you powerfully into his world. Sally Donovan presents the thoughts and hopes and dreams and disappointments of a child with great insight and sensitivity. She understands children, she gets into their hearts and into their minds

and makes them come alive on the page. I can’t remember

the last time I was so moved – and amused – by a child narrator. It will move you and make you laugh within

the space of a few lines.’

– Virginia Macgregor, author of What Milo Saw and The Astonishing Return of Norah Wells
