Reviews of Kayla Hicks' Works:
"Towards the end, during one of their times hanging, I was in tears. I'm such a sap when the right mood and words hit. This is one book that just fit at the right time and found me in the right mood. Anywhere Else is exactly what I needed and I can't recommend this one enough for those who just want something sweet and uplifting." - Bookn.All.Night for Anywhere Else
"It's a short work. In fact, if you're a fast reader like myself, you'll have this done in a couple of hours, but don't let that fool you. It's a wonderful read with interesting characters that you want to know more about as well as the world they live in and you're definitely left wanting to know what happens next!" - Steve Vimes for The Backup Superhero
"This is an incredibly powerful and moving read. From the first few pages this is emotionally charged and deals with some difficult issues for a young character. Sadi is such a strong female lead, and Parker was a brilliant bestie too. I felt for both of these characters from the off. Some surprising events and a moving outcome." - Bobs and Books Blog for Secrets They Never Told
"What a lovely colourful book. Kayla's artwork pops with colour and cheer, this beautiful book, with its tale of acceptance and how everyone (every flower) is different, and is a must for all children to have on their bookshelves." - Chris Horn for Dandelion
Stay tuned, and don't miss this incredible episode! 🌟📚
