LoveReading4Kids Says

Two young people, each with their own problems and challenges narrate Victoria Williamson’s poignant and moving novel.

Norah and her dad are living in a cramped, noisy B&B having lost their home. Delays and interruptions to benefit payments mean they’re often hungry and Norah is bullied at school too where she struggles with reading. Her love of animals provides some consolation; she has a pet spider and mouse and longs for a dog.

Caring for orphaned baby birds brings her into contact with Adam, who also loves animals, but has a very different life. His family are wealthy, but he is frustrated - and sad - because of the restrictions his parents place on him as he recovers from leukaemia. As the two form a friendship, dramatic events lead to changes in both their lives.

Written in direct, accessible prose the story has real momentum and while holding young readers’ attention will open their eyes to ways the less fortunate amongst us have to live.
