‘I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for making World Book Day at our school so enjoyable. All the children and staff thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and learning about your life as a writer. I’ve had fantastic feed back from the deputy head about the whole day. Once again I want to say a huge thankyou to you and the snails for giving us such a fantastic experience. We hope to see you again.’

Binsted CofE Primary School – February 2010
‘One cloudy day in January the absolutely fantastic author, Sarah Lucas, came to visit Years 2,3,4,5&6 of Binsted Primary School. She came to talk to us about how she became an author and how to write interesting books. We enjoyed having Sarah and her snails with us in school and had lots of fun. We wish that one of her snails had escaped and stayed at our school!’
Rowledge CofE Primary School – March 2010
‘I enjoyed you coming to Rowledge School and talking to us. I love your books about African land snails. Now I love African land snails. World book day was the best one ever because of you.’

‘Thank you once again for a fantastic visit – we are still hit by ‘Snail Trial mania’, so many parents said at parents evening that their children are glued to reading the books – thank you, Sarah’
Robert Piggott Primary School, November 2010
‘The books flew off the library shelf!’
Debbie Thrower, Broadcaster, 2008
‘There’s nothing snail’s pace about this story. Many swift twists and turns are executed by our pint-sized Misses Marple as they solve a highly unusual village mystery. Looming large all the while are the exotic Land Snails who inspired the tale, and are enduringly intriguing.’ r
Jane Bonney, Conchological Society of Great Britain, 2009, on Snail Trail
‘This delightful book, written as a result of the events happening in real life to the author and her daughter Amy, will appeal to children of all ages, from 9 to 90.’
‘We really enjoyed reading Snails Don’t Burp! Our favourite illustration was the devil baby. We thought it was cute and funny. Well done Amy! Florence thinks that this book is a bit better than the first book, Snail Trail, but I think the opposite.’ Emma and Florence
‘I like Snails Don’t Burp! because it’s about a snail that gets poisoned. Then he gets full of wind and has to burp. When he gets really sick his stomach comes out of his mouth.’ Tom, Yr. 4,
‘I like the way there are small chapters in the book and the writing is not so small. Whenever I read a chapter of the book I could almost imagine that I could see what was happening. I could picture everything. It made the book really good.’ Yasmin, Yr. 6
‘The book Snail Trail is brilliant!’ Flora, Yr. 5
‘When I’m reading and mum says ‘bed time’ I don’t want to stop!’ Emma, Yr 6
‘I love your books because they are funny and exciting.’ Sophie, Yr 4
‘I love your book Snail Trail.’ Grace, Yr. 5
