Eventually an opportunity to break free arises and he escapes but not without sadness for his Yeti friends. Author of Private Peaceful and Friend or Foe, Michael Morpurgo again demonstrates why he is considered to be the master storyteller with another of his beautifully crafted war stories. All the favourites are there: Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Lion, in a tale that is wonderfully familiar, but full of surprises too!He has an unerring moral compass – his schoolteacher past has never quite left him – and books such as War Horse and The Butterfly Lion have a strong social concience and an honesty that makes them universal.

Alfie and his fisherman father find a girl on an uninhabited island in the Scillies, lost and with no memory of who she is, or how she came to be there. I did enjoy the text once I got past chapter 4 as I found the first few chapters difficult to engage with.
