Review
"I consider the Rumini series the most important, most creative, most refreshing and most exciting event of Hungarian children’s literature of the past decade. Let’s hope Judit Berg is about to continue it!" ——Life and Literature, Hungarian cultural weekly magazine
"I believe Judit Berg should be mentioned together with the greatest authors of children’s literature, such as Astrid Lindgren, as she has a wonderful talent of speaking the language of children." ——EszterKovács, editor of the biggest Hungarian website on children’s literature, editor and owner of Pagony, a major Hungarian publisher of children’s literature
"For a long time we have been lacking Hungarian authors with the ability to write enjoyable prose for young school children. Now Judit Berg has come…" ——Magic Pencil, Hungary
"Rumini is my favourite series, for it is very exciting and funny. The only problem is that it’s impossible to put down." —— Mark Piros (8 yrs) from Budapest
"Without Rumini the world of books would be much more boring.” ——Julia Rezessy (10 yrs) from Budapest
"If there is such a person as "irst Lady for contemporary children’s literature’ it is definitely Judit Berg. She has reached this rank with hard work, and has enough talent and elegance to fulfil the position." ——Andrea Lovasz, literary critic
"Rumini is one of the most magical, enthralling, exciting and friendly books I have had the pleasure of reading. After the first paragraph I was hooked and wanted to know what happened next. The stories are truly inspired and extremely satisfying. You soon forget the characters are mice and gerbils etc. They are brought to life so wonderfully by Berg Judit that you are instantly drawn into Rumini’s world and his fantastic adventures. This is storytelling of the highest order." ——Dean Wilkinson, writer of LittleBigPlanet, Stupid, SMTV Live & Chums.
