Double Vision
Quite simply, the best book I've read in ages. The double vision of the title refers to reason and imagination - seeing things two ways. Eliza and Lily, sisters living in a North-West coastal town, have opposite views of their surroundings. Eliza feels confined; Lily's eccentric imagination is given free rein. Characters and events are paraded in front of the reader in an irresistible display, brought to life by Hendry's wonderful use of language. Buy a set of this remarkable book and give GCSE students a linguistic and literary treat.
