Description: |
A novella in the same vein as, and effectively a prequel to , ''A Different Dog'', our ''boy'' is here desperate to board the last ship leaving a dystopian society bound for a better land. His journey makes for a sometimes painful read, but again, as with ''A Different Dog'', there is an ultimate redemption with a twist. The story draws on Paul Jennings'' experiences of childhood migration to Australia. A third title, ''A Different Land'', is due in 2019 which will draw the three stories together. Perfect for reluctant readers, reading age 10+, interest age 10-14. Illustrated by Geoff Kelly. |
