Twice Upon a Time is underpinned by friendship and fun. . . . It's fast, persuasive, engaging. It's also neatly placed in the contemporary world: single-parent family; laptop; sugar rushes; a hint of dementia; a touch of New Age channelling. . . . This all suits a book energised by verbal invention, springy dialogue, existential questions, an occasional surfeit of adjectives, and the special logic of childhood. Norcliffe makes rewarding use of language's sheer improbability. Does a spitting image really spit? Why does one go back to the drawing-board, and not to the ironing- or diving-board. What's a quibble? . . . Warm, witty, and occasionally rather wise, witha nice leavening of mischief.
