What people have to say about The DOTTY Series:

"Destined to become a children's classic." Literary Classics Book Reviews

"I read the first chapter [of DOTTY and the Chimney Thief] to the children tonight and they were instantly back to being as gripped as they were by the first book. They both laughed out loud at the wonderful descriptions of Gobby in the kitchen covered in flour (again) and the way she asked Kenny to remove Geoff! They cannot wait to find out what happens next." J. Johnson, Stallingborough

"Author Emma Warner-Reed has penned a magnificent children's book with suspense that builds as young readers are drawn into the mystery surrounding Dotty's new home. Dotty and the Calendar House Key is highly recommended for home and school libraries and has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval." Literary Classics Book Reviews

"Dotty and the Calendar House Key has truly fired my daughter's imagination for the first time since Harry Potter. Beautifully written and exciting. The Secret Garden meets Diagon Alley. Fabulous!" Alexandra Vere, Harrogate

"My son has just read the first three chapters and thinks it's brilliant - high praise since he has very decided opinions about what he reads." P. Uglow, Harrogate

"I really liked the book. It was a bit scary when Dotty found herself in Uncle Winchester's private study. But most of the books I read are a bit scary so that was okay. I would read the other books in the series. Go Team Dotty!"
Betty, age 7, Amazon 
"Enchanting, innocent and lovely with just the right amount of modern technology...a great read for a grown up 7 year old! She loved it... When is the next one coming out?" A. Little, Amazon
