Looking for something different

The other passengers are a wonderfully funny mix of all-too-recognisable stereotypes (in the best possible way!) From rich and pompous to famous and arrogant to self-made and brash, they’re not an immediately likeable bunch (save for a couple!) but they’re very engaging. Overall, if you couldn’t guess, I loved this! It’s fantastically written, with some wonderful, lively descriptions and a great mixture of humour, warmth, adventure and suspense. The illustrations have a lightness of touch and level of detail that bring it to life brilliantly.
