Easton, an experienced children's fiction author, has created an endearingly funny family, whose problems ring with poignancy. Chloe is a charming, vulnerable heroine that you root for throughout. The second of this planned series is due in September and I can't wait to read it. -- Julia Llewellyn Smith - The Telegraph

School, friends and the chaos of family life, told with great warmth and charm. From the author of the well-received Boys Don't Knit - The Bookseller

It's a warm story, rather poignant at times, about an endearing, funny family that really tries to pull together despite the disasters and it's really held together with warmth and love. - South Wales Evening Post

This is a funny and heart-warming tale proving that perfect family life comes in many forms -- Louise Heines - The Guardian

This book has made me belly laugh more than any other book I have read this year. T. S Easton had a wickedly delicious sense of humour and any child (or any adult!!!) will be giggling away to themselves throughout this book (...)Children aged 9-99 will adore this book! (...) can't recommend it highly enough! - My Chestnut Reading Tree

This is a funny and interesting book (...) my favourite character was Chole because she is very warm-hearted and friendly (...) I'd recommend this book to people who like Tom Gates or Diary of a Wimpy Kid - National Geographic Kids Magazine

I really like this book because it is obviously very funny, but it also seems very true in some aspects for children who are in the same position as Chloe with a troublesome sibling and a very problematic house - Powered by Reading

This is a great book, about friendship and annoyance. It is great! - Mango Bubbles Books

Our Houseis aimed at 8 to 12 year olds, who will love it, but it has that precious special ingredient: It appeals to any adults who may pick it up as it is funny and sees family life with a wry eye - Cat and Mouse Reading

The cover invites us to meet the Deal family: clumsy, chaotic and mad as a bunch of daffodils and the readers will not be disappointed (...) Chloe's humourous anecdotes (...) keep the story bubbling along, and teachers and librarians may well be reminded of the Hilary McKay novels with serious themes running through the humour (...) Definitely recommended -- Diana Barnes - The School Librarian
