Changes

We're going back to 1994 this month, with a book that won the Guardian Children's Fiction prize. [[MapHead Maphead by Lesley Howarth]] is the lovely story of a boy from a parallel world returning to make contact with his human mother. Funny characters and universal emotions make it a tremendously appealing rite of passage novel. It's unconventional, funny and sweet. Happily, it was recently reissued by Catnip for a whole new generation of children who like imaginative fiction.
