A warm and charming journey of self-discovery; I particularly liked the irresistible voice of heroine Prune - Fiona Noble, Bookseller _______________________ Magic comes from within ... Uprooted by her single mum along with her troublesome older brother, eleven-year-old Prune Robinson is trying to settle in a new town. She figures she cant burden her hard-working mother with the fact shes being bullied. Or the fact that her drawings have started coming to life. But with her brother soon in danger, Prune comes to realise that she cant hide her power forever; in fact, it might just be the one thing that brings her family back together and saves them all. Planned as the start of a series about remarkable children from the same neighbourhood, The Wondrous Prune is poignant and surprising with wonderful wish fulfilment and accessible storytelling.
