"I just wanted to write to say thank you so much for coming to visit us this week and for all the hard work that you put into the workshops – the girls absolutely loved them! Your time with us was a real success, sparking an enthusiasm for poetry in the pupils! It has been so lovely to see them so excited and eager to learn more and many have been inspired by your passion for poetry, so thank you" 

Hannah Goligher, Teacher, Surbiton Girls’ Prep School

“The poetry is phenomenal. Full of puns and personality....and that’s why everybody should buy a one-way ticket and go”

FIVE STARS. childrenstheatrereviews.com on One Way Ticket.

“Jumble wakes up to his own creativity and value despite not being able to read. Jumble is clever at stories, and this is a strong message, well presented. There are moments when it reaches brilliant - poetry, storytelling, and sheer charm emanating from the personal magic of Justin himself."

FOUR STARS. Fringereview The Jumble Book. 

"Justin’s performance was slick and professional, magical and inspirational. The children and dads enjoyed the interactive elements and joined in with great spirit. The poems, raps and songs were diverse and engaging and appealed to a wide age group. Poetry has never been more popular!"

"An absolute gem. It's witty, wise and heart-warming."

Books for Topics

"The book moves through well-judged shades of humour, light and sadness. It doesn't shy from complex issues...Throughout, Steve Wells' sparky illustrations emphasise the inclusive nature of the book, one that is charged with humour and love."
