Meet Skig, who’s meant to be a warrior (but is really more of a worrier). Meet a giddy comet, skidding across the sky with her tail on fire. Put a marvellous new machine in your pocket and maybe you’ll be able to fix all your life’s problems. Kate Wakeling’s first book of poems for children is full of curious characters and strange situations. The poems she writes are always musical, sometimes magical, and full of wonder at the weirdness of the world.Moon Juice contains 25 poems and features bonus materials, including interviews with the author and the illustrator, and ideas for writing your own poems.

I very much liked Wakeling’s inventiveness and imagination. Children of 7 and up would relish the surreal ‘Hamster Man’ or ‘The Demon Mouth’ and the language and content of the poems is slap bang up to date and all the better for it. […] The poems are varied in shape and form, there is bold use of white space and a sense of enjoyment in the language. I think 7 year olds would love this one and I expect it to walk out of my study very soon.
