Exciting story of a pet shop prison break, from the author of 'The Animals of Farthing Wood'. Eric made up his mind. He would go to the pet shop, open the cages and let the little troupe of animals free, to make their own way in the world. And so began A Great Escape.
Colin Dann is a master tale-spinner and A Great Escape will further enhance his reputation. From the start the pace is swift, the narrative direct . . . Readers in the 10-14 age range will find the book unputdownable * Growing Point *
Colin Dann won the Arts Council National Award for Children's Literature for his first novel, The Animals of Farthing Wood, which was subsequently made into an animated series.
