5-8 Infant/Junior
A lovely story, well written and sensitively illustrated, about an ordinary boy in a family of gifted people. His search for something which will allow him to shine involves courage and perseverance but his subsequent success is all the sweeter. Such a shame about the cheap quality of the paper which spoils the overall 'feel' of a good book.
