'Sula, by an old favourite of mine, Lavinia Derwent, sees the first of four classic books set on the fictional west coast Isle of Sula -- books that will open the minds and imaginations of 10 to 12-year-olds.' -- Greenock Telegraph, June 2005 'I thought this book gave a good idea about life on the island. A good read for 10-13 year olds.' -- Kit, age 12, Education Otherwise 'The story of Magnus and his new teacher's changing relationship amid new difficulties on the island is skilfully and sensitively told.' -- Woman Alive, April 2005 'Lavinia Derwent involves her young readers closely with the characters in Sula and keeps them on tenterhooks for the next adventure.' -- Books in Scotland 'Suited to readers in the later primary stages, this novel employs an unusual blending of whimsical fun and quite stark realism. There is strength and originality in the portrayal of changing relationships between Magnus and his inexperienced teacher.' -- Treasure Islands: A guide to Scottish fiction for young readers aged 10-14, Summer 2003
