'Fun, interactive book aimed at introducing older primary school age children to genealogy.' Family Tree Magazine

'...a brilliant Christmas present for any inquisitive child. This book, inspired by the hit BBC genealogy TV show, gives tips on how to conduct interviews with older people, search the internet, research old photos and census documents, and much more. There's also a great fold-out family tree for the book's owner to fill in, going all the way back to great-great-grandparents. My enthralled eight-year-old was soon on the phone to her great-aunt as she sought out information.' The London Evening Standard

'A brilliant Christmas present for any inquisitive child…My enthralled eight-year old was soon on the phone to her great-aunt as she sought out information.' Evening Standard

'Crammed full with information . . . the text is chatty without being patronising, and gives good advice on the topic. All in all, it’s easy to use, and I recommend this to interested children.' Minerva Reads
