As hilarious as it is heartbreaking, another future classic from Costa Winner Kate Saunders (Five Children on the Western Front).
Emily watched, in a trance of astonishment, as the bear opened the picnic basket, took out a tartan rug and spread it on Holly-s bed.
And then the penguin spoke.
Actually spoke.
-What-s going on? This isn-t Pointed End!-
The bear said, -It looks like a human bedroom. We must-ve come through the wrong door.-
-But there aren-t any doors to the hard world in Deep Smockeroon! And we don-t have a human bedroom any more. We-re in a box in the attic.-
What if there exists a world powered by imagination?
A world of silliness, where humans and their toys live on long after they-ve left the Hard World . . . and what if the door between that world and this one was broken?
Welcome to the Land of Neverendings.
Moving,
