Cairns Post

‘A brilliant and quirky read.’

Fiction Focus

‘A lot of fun … a cut above the many ordinary young adult novels of this genre.’

Magpies

‘Loving Richard Feynman is a delight to read; its ironic humour helps air the concerns and anxieties of the self-absorbed teen years and we warm to Catherine as she comes to realise that others, even the school star, Felix have their problems too.’
