What Archie Wanted
Yet another winner from Holly Keller - she has the ability to touch both the adult and the child who share her books, for they depict and value the reality of a young child's world with its fears, anger and inability to be quickly appeased. Archie is left by his mother in the charge of Libby and Sam, and we share their struggles to find out what is troubling him, but only one person knows the answer because she forgot to give him a goodbye kiss. Oh the guilt!
