Quote Karen McCombie's partnership with Lydia Monks on the 'Indie Kidd' series is so successful they would do well to pursue the association in a manner similar to Jacqueline Wilson and Nick Sharratt. The stories are very accessible, with strong characterisation, while the tone, the pace and the dialogue of the books are faultless. Quote
