Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Witty and warm-hearted, this is a delightful family story spiced with adventure. Everything is distinctly not normal in Ramzi’s house. While mum’s away studying Domes of the East for her architecture course, dad starts waking in the night to do unusual things such as chasing a hen in Ramzi’s wardrobe and trying to catch frogs in the pantry. The truth is, dad’s homesick for his village in Algeria. Soon Ramzi is off on a great trip but will he be able to find the help he needs to get dad back to normal?
Winner of the 2010 Islamic Foundation International Writing Competition, (8-11 category) and The John C Laurence Award (for writing that improves relations between the races).
Shortlisted for the Muslim Writer’s Award 2011.

Reviews
All was quiet in Cinnamon Grove. The little cluster of grey terraced houses huddled together beneath the moonlight. Birds tucked their heads under their wings, flowers closed their petals, and children snuggled into their duvets like caterpillars in cocoons.-- from the book
