SPIRIT AND FIRE :“Exquisitely written, this is a wonderful bedtime read for young person or adult. It is a gripping adventure story about a young girl's courageous fight to escape from oppression. She never loses her integrity and her faith in herself is ultimately rewarded. The harsh reality of life in Roman Britain is brought vividly to life.”    Bruce Nixon, author

SHUTDOWN: “A very compelling and imaginative story.”      Alison Fell-Gordon, Manager, Hitchin Waterstone’s

“I've just finished reading 'shutdown' and I thought that it was one of the greatest books that I've ever read! Once I had read the first chapter of Shutdown I instantly wanted to carry on. I'm itching to read the others now. I have just started writing a story partly inspired by 'Shutdown'. I would also like to thank you again for an inspirational time when you came to my school.”  Alisha, 11, Buntingford

JUST FOR ONE DAY: “I have just finished Just for One Day. It was one of the best books I have ever read and is and will probably be a best seller! It is a brilliant book (as are all your books) but this is my favourite so far! Keep writing like that.”
           Cameron, 11 !!!!

VOICE OF THE ASPEN:  “I can see that it's beautifully written and I'm going to pass on my copy to a friend's daughter for her birthday, as I know she'll love it.” Karen Clarke, Bucks Examiner Book Reviewer

TRACES: “...excellent...breathtaking... utterly amazing.” Abigail, 11

TWINSIDE OUT: “Having recently read and been fascinated by Sue Hampton’s recent story 'Twinside Out', I have no hesitation in recommending it - as a child, I would have devoured it in one sitting !” Roger Hoult, editor of Salopeot magazine

THE WATERHOUSE GIRL: “It's a truly original storyline that will inform the reader and give strength to others, really commendable. I felt I knew these people while I was reading and really cared about what happened to them.  I LOVED THE WHALE STORYLINE TOO. DAISY IS A HEROINE. Congrats on such a great achievement - you're so much better than so many other writers out there.”Sam Davis, librarian, Thomas Coram School

“Told from the author’s heart, ‘The Waterhouse Girl’ is a novel that faces sensitive issues straight on with insight and compassion.” Waterstone’s online review

“The Waterhouse Girl is an inspiring novel about how we treat one another and the planet, about hope, acceptance, and commitment. It's a story for our times.”  Femail – Australian magazine

THE LINCOLN IMP: “What stands out, for me, is Sue Hampton’s dazzling dexterity with words. I frequently reread passages  just to make sure I have fully appreciated what she has said. This book, like all Sue’s books, is populated with real people with real feelings. There are no stereotypes. All her characters are well rounded and believable. I can recommend this book unreservedly. It is fun, exciting and you still think about it long after you have finished reading it. If I were to make a comparison I would say that Sue Hampton is in the same class as Michael Morpurgo. It doesn't get any better than that.” John Marsh, Amazon
  
“This was a lovely read from start to finish. I enjoyed reading it with my 6 year old daughter. We both found it funny and could associate with the main characters - even the Imp! Very current and it was nice to have the link with Lincoln."  Fiona Kelham, parent, Lincoln.

"I just wanted to say again that every teacher commented to me on how great you were."Brilliant ... inspiring ... the kids were gripped from the first moment ... really  knew her stuff ...  very relevant to what we were doing in class, obvious she was a teacher" gives you just a taste of the comments. Everyone also thought you were lovely." Mrs J Edwardson, St. John Fisher Catholic Primary School, St Albans.

"My son was really inspired by your visit to his school at the beginning of the year, when he bought The Lincoln Imp, and The Waterhouse Girl (which I read to him). As a child with dyslexia and a reading age 3 years behind his peers, you gave him a huge burst of enthusiasm for writing which he struggles with. This was strengthened further by your reading his story sent by his teacher in February, and responding to it - which he was so excited
about! So thank you very much for inspiring him, Sue!"   Beccy, parent
