"This is a gentle and authentically honest portrayal of a young girl suffering from severe anxiety and school refusal, which is sadly a growing problem in the UK … an essential read for teachers and parents … Ellie’s story will undoubtedly resonate with and reassure many young readers." — LoveReading4Kids"Not only is Jellybean an excellent book, it is an essential read for anyone who is suffering from EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance), their family or their friends … Written from Ellie's perspective, we gain a real understanding about the effects of school avoidance on the child and family as well as their friends." — ReadingZone review"A powerful story for children who have experienced anxiety about school. Whether they’ve actually stayed away from school for long periods or pushed through stressful, teary mornings when leaving the house is so hard, it shows them they are not alone … Schools, GPs and Education Welfare Officers will be able to recommend this book to parents who are looking after anxious young people." — Scope for Imagination, blog"An empathetic portrayal of school-based anxiety told through the eyes of Ellie, a young girl who wakes up and is so overcome with anxiety that she cannot attend school and continues to not attend for a large period of time. As a teacher, this short story hit home. It reflects how absence is not always rooted in bullying or academic pressure. A powerful read." – NetGalley review"Where Jellybean truly shines is in its portrayal of anxiety—not as a dramatic event, but as a creeping, pervasive presence that reshapes Ellie’s day-to-day existence. The book doesn’t offer dramatic solutions, but instead fosters understanding. It doesn’t gloss over the difficulty, yet it avoids overwhelming the reader with complexity … It’s an important and affirming read for young people—and an essential tool for educators, parents, and peers striving to cultivate empathy and support." – NetGalley review
