My review:????
The Illustrated Child by Polly Crosby is the story of Romily as she grows up. When she is little, her father writes a book which makes her famous. It’s a picture book about her adventures, with things hidden in the pictures, which people decide is a treasure hunt.
Romily grows up in the public eye, with her distinctive red hair, and we’re told how she and her father deal with this. There are mental health issues and illness for some characters, and the past is a mystery that is explained.
I enjoyed the book, and the look at how people deal with fame. The mental health and illness is dealt with well, and Romily at different ages is believable.
The Illustrated Child by Polly Crosby was published on 29th October 2020, and it’s available from Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.
