Illustrated by Noela Young
This writer's Something Special is one of the best stories I know for six to eights, showing them how the numinous and the magical lie within the ordinary and the everyday. This new one has more pace and vigour, but the writer's ability to create a story 'world' is still strong, never fey. Rachel just wishes that one day something (anything!) would happen - a common childhood emotion? It does - when pigs do begin to fly, and the world is turned topsy-turvy. A beautifully unfolded tale from an illuminating, fresh-voiced writer.
