    Staying Healthy When You Travel

    “coverage is excellent…sensible…accurate and well researched…single authorship makes it an easy read”

    Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene

    Himalayan Kidnap

    "I think the author was amazing. The best bits were when she read extracts from Himalayan Kidnap. Listening to her life in Nepal was fascinating." Alex H.

    "I liked it because the author had lots of detail in everything she said. I also think she likes travelling like I do!" Lucia L-T.

    "I liked it when the author read the part about the two boys trying to cross the river. She made it realistic, for example, about the crocodile spinning the boy round in the water."
    Hanif M.

    "I think her books seem interesting. Also, I think the author is a good inspiration to people."
    Maddie P-M.
