Double award-winning author and illustrator Jennifer Paul perfectly captures the magic and warmth of childhood within her stories; delicately wrapping them in wit, beauty and indisputable morals.

‘This book is a wonderful portal for children to melt away to elsewhere. Eliza Wren and the Multicoloured Peacock is Jennifer Paul’s debut novel. She is both author and illustrator of a children’s story written with clear morals, particularly the importance of self-belief and benevolence in leadership. The writing is clear and honest while the pictures transport and light up the imagination.

I enjoyed reading this to my young sons and they were keen to hear two or three chapters in bed each night. The intricate illustrations are a feast for the eyes, beautifully finished, they express movement and mysticism. The whole book including the story, is delightfully pretty, engaging, and light. The language is clear but not overly simplistic, so supports vocabulary growth in the very young and might nicely challenge an independent reader.

Within a mere 90 or so pages we are introduced to a magically hidden peafowl society and taken on a fantastical journey of discovery and acceptance. The short chapters and concise overall story lend very well to independent reading for confident primary school age readers or a comforting and companionable read for preteens.

This would make a delightful gift for the brave and confident Eliza’s in our lives and I think I’ll need to go and stock up for Xmas gifts! I am glad there will be more adventures from Eliza Wren in the future and it is my belief that this is merely the beginning of a long and successful authorial career for Jennifer Paul.’

‘A magical children's book that will enchant and stimulate the imaginations and intellect of its young audience.

The protagonist, Eliza Wren, exemplifies both bravery and compassion, making her a fantastic role model for children to look up to. This second installment of the Eliza Wren series again exemplifies the essence of great children's literature, focusing on moral integrity and celebrating high character, nature, and wholesomeness.

The prose is a feast for the senses, rich with vivid descriptions that transport readers into a world brimming with wonder. Each page is adorned with stunning grammar, enhanced by a plethora of adjectives, similes, and personification that breathe life into the characters and settings. Children of school age will find themselves greatly benefiting from the exposure to such eloquent prose, as it not only entertains but also fosters a deeper appreciation for the beauty of language and storytelling.

In summary, "Eliza Wren and the Time Giant" is a wonderfully engaging and evocative tale filled with wisdom and allure that promises readers an unforgettable journey!’
