Review:
"Newbery has stepped into timelessness with her short novel, ostensibly for middle-grade readers, entitled LOB (2010). It is a charming retelling of the Green Man legend, rich and playfully reinterpreted, which also has a contemporary thread" (Oxford Companion to Children's Literature)
"An exquisite novel for the more sensitive seven to nine-year-olds" (Sunday Telegraph)
"One of the most gifted writers around must surely be Linda Newbery and Lob, her latest novel for younger readers, is the kind of book that will inspire in children a deep love of nature and in adults a yearning for the wonderment of childhood" (Independent on Sunday)
"Linda Newbery tells her story beautifully, evoking empathy and emotion without ever straying into sentimentality" (The Scotsman)
"The mystical and beautiful fable is one of my favourite titles of this year" (The Bookseller)
