“Reading The Barn Chronicles has been the most exciting reading time for us as a family. We have shared the Boom Family’s experiences, joys, excitements, frights & fears. What an adventure! Thank you.” The Winter Family
“A modern-day ‘Little House on the Prairie’ – and every bit as charming as that classic. My daughter was just spellbound as we read The Barn Chronicles. Though they were family read-alouds she kept sneaking off with them to read ahead. In an era where wholesome, fun children’s novels are increasingly hard to come by, this series is a gem.” Lisa Taylor, author
“I was raised on a reading diet of Arthur Ransome, CS Lewis and other kids and outdoors books - I think The Barn Chronicles is a worthy addition to this genre. Fun and lively and giving a glimpse of rural/outdoors life that so many of our children have little experience of these days.” David, father
“No doubt you’ve heard it many times before... but I’ll say it anyway... we just love your books! They’ve become part of our family culture and when we reached the last book and told the children it was the last one there were great wails of despair! (and not just from them!). We love what you do. Thanks.” Anna
“Thank you for such an amazing gift of story-time for our family!! The stories have filled our heads and our hearts each day and we all long for the time on the couch in the evening to hear more!” Sarah
“I have never laughed and cried so much in my life and it’s all thanks to your wonderful family story, The Barn Chronicles. My children are very much enjoying being read the story and can't wait for our next sessions.” Raewyn, mother
“There is something about reading of life in the Boom’s barn that creates the warmest of family bonds. I can’t really describe it, but it’s there.” Veronica, mother
“Destined to be a classic.” Peter Harris, author
“A lovely family read that will keep young adventurers, boy and girl, riveted to the page.” Jenny Waldron, mother
“The Barn Chronicles are the best books I have ever read! They are full of fun, adventures, celebrations, broken legs, and heaps more! I would love to live in a barn like that and live on that property with a river, animals, swings, eels and everything else!” Maria, 10
“Full of family high-jinks and laughter.” Sandra, mother
“I have started reading The Barn Chronicles snuggled up with the boys each morning as the start to our day, which provides an opportunity for love and cuddles, and sets the tone for the day. As I read the series, I can see that not only are my children hearing wholesome wonderful imaginative stories, but I myself am being taught how happy and loving families operate. It is healing and encouraging and equipping. Rosie, thank you so much. I wish I could write it ten feet high.” Melissa, mother
“I'm ten years old and I love reading your Barn Chronicles series!! It’s amazing how many adventures you’ve had and that they are all so exciting!! I just can’t put the book down and I’m going to read them over and over again! I can’t wait till your next book! You are now my full-time favourite author!” Riva, 10
“Right from the first page the kids and I were hooked. Every time I stop there are groans of “No! Just a bit more.” We love the humour, the sadness, the pain, and the happiness. The kids are learning so much from your books—we are in love with them! I’m pretty sure my eight-year-old daughter’s daydreams are centred around The Barn Chronicles.” Tracy, mother
"Your stories make me want to go outside and have more adventures!" Elijah, 10
