Ruth's Speech

To my dear friend Anjali,

Thank you Anjali, thank you for sharing your talent with us in this great book and inspiring others through the example you set. I believe, and see examples every day of how we all have within ourselves the ability to achieve what we want to, and you embody this. So many people talk about following their interests and passion and it’s not easy to succeed, few ever do. You however have the discipline and persistence to write and publish a book, amidst all that is required of wife and mother, let alone your many other commitments. And above all of this, have the courage to take each step along a new and challenging journey, as well as put your talent on show for all to see. I am in awe of such talent that can develop ideas into a story that can bring joy to others, inspire and excite children about storytelling. Congratulations, Anjali, this is a great achievement, enjoy it... and then get back to the writing, we want more!

With Love
Ruth Simpson

 

Review from a young keen reader - Katie Simpson age 8

Dear Anjali, the book was very, very, very, very (+25 very) good. It was a good length, lots going on, very interesting and I like the ending. I would like to go to the cinema every Saturday and get popcorn and fizzy drinks like they do. I wish you could write another one.
Now Mummy gets to read it! xxx

And Mummy thinks it was great too...I love the way you write, the characters came to life for me and I felt for them at every step of the way, I too look forward to more. You are exceptional x

 

The Convent Rules

Well written, skillful and a thoroughly enjoyable adventure as seen through the eyes of my daughter. A book that charms and grips you from the first page to the last. Look forward to buying the sequel.

The Convent Rules

Comments from an 11 year old boy: "I really enjoyed The Convent Rules. Once I started reading I wanted to keep going to the end. It was both interesting and exciting. I am looking forward to the next Anjali Mittal book".

Ten out of Ten for the Convent Rules!

Anjali Mittal has written the kind of book that has always enchanted children and is timeless. It is gentle and innocent but at the same time an exciting adventure story. Even reading it as an adult it opened the doors to my imagination and filled my mind with charming pictures of a world where a boarding school high in snow-covered mountains is run by a regiment of nuns - some formidable, some funny - all eccentric characters! If you know any 7-12 years-olds, buy them this book. If you don't, buy it for yourself!

A Kid's Review

Hi
I am Verity Platt and I have read this book and enjoyed it so much I am convinced that everyone will love to read it. It's adventurous, exciting and I couldn't put it down. I read it in two days and I'm only 9. Hope you enjoy reading it if you do.
