-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 can-t burden her hard-working mother with the fact she-s 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 can-t 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.
