An extraordinary novella with echoes of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and The Road; set in an otherworldly plain with hints of magical realism.
§A group of undocumented children with letters for names, are stuck living in a refugee camp, with stories to tell but no papers to prove them. As they try to forge a new family amongst themselves, they also long to keep memories of their old identities alive.
Will they be heard and believed? And what will happen to them if they aren't?
An astonishing piece of writing that will enchant and intrigue children; perfectly pitched at a 9+ readership.
Rezension:
Heartbreaking, moving tale . . . it's impossible not to be deeply touched while reading it. Child I is not an easy read, but it is an important one, and it will help children - and, for that matter, adults - consider those who are less fortunate than them. BookTrust
