Praise for The Sleeping Bug

‘Great story for young readers. I was sucked in pretty quick and wanted to see what was happening next! Very creative.’ Jillian F., Netgalley

‘My daughter (10yo) loved this book. She is an avid reader and read it in two sitting. Having recently changed school herself I think she really connected with Molly, and the challenges she was facing. She said she had lovely dreams after reading this book and I think this is a story that will stay with her long after she finished it.’ Laura D., Netgalley‘This is a really good book for young readers. I feel like they could identify with Molly. It is well written and holds your attention. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you Oblong Books via NetGalley for the free copy. This is my honest opinion.’ Ann F., Netgalley

‘This atmospheric and charming middle grade read perfectly captures the sensation of a young person being completely enthralled with a book. It tells the story of a “book within a book”— which I’ll admit is really hard to pull off! When I’m reading and the character in my book is also reading, it adds a layer, and it’s difficult to make the reader actually care about the book within the book— but given that The Sleeping Bug in the story was such a driving force of the plot, Brolly pulled this off really well. Molly, our main character, is a British schoolgirl who is whisked into the world of her most recent read both literally and figuratively. I loved Molly, and I loved how accurately Brolly portrayed the very real notion of being emotionally affected by what happens to characters in media we consume.’ Madison L., Netgalley

‘This book will resonate with anyone who has ever felt completely engrossed with a book, to the point that they feel like they are living and breathing alongside the characters who fill the pages.’ Rebecca B., Netgalley
