A simple, poignant tale with gorgeous watercolour illustrations that beautifully captures the experiences of being an outsider at secondary school. This heartfelt tribute to the travelling community would be a wonderful text to use for classroom discussions about diversity and prejudice with pupils in Upper primary/ junior secondary classes. Suitable readers aged 12+ I believe this is a must have in all school libraries and I can't wait to recommend it to my teacher colleagues.

This is a beautifully illustrated short story centred around a gypsy boy, who comes to live in a small town in Ireland.
I am going through a really rough time at the moment with exams and so I wanted something relaxing, which would help me feel all warm inside.
Mission accomplished ☑️

I actually really enjoyed this book!
I am totally honoured to have read a book by this amazing author who originally wrote A Monster Calls.
This is an interesting story about Irish gypsies and how they are treated because of history.
Two of the children start at a school and are picked on.
Jim meets a girl who sees him as normal and they develop a great friendship.
It's great to see how two children from different backgrounds get along.
The illustrations in this as well are fantastic.
A really good enjoyable read! :)

I really enjoyed this book. Such an easy read with beautiful illustrations.
If you want a book about diversity this is a great read, a story of how a gypsy traveller boy is treated unfairly because of his background.
