'''Longlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal 2013'''
Julie lives in Bootle and is in her last year of primary school. She's like every little girl, hoping to be invited to her friends' houses for tea and just beginning to think about boys. She's never thought much about the world outside Bootle but the arrival of Chingis and his younger brother Nergui is about to change all that. The two boys are nomads from Mongolia and they arrive at school on a hot summer's day, wearing traditional Mongolian furry coats and hats. Taking a shine to Julie, Chingis appoints her his ''Good Guide'' to the UK. And in return he tells her stories of horsemen and eagles and shows her Polaroid photos of a land far away.
Other super stories about young people new to the UK include [[Tall Story by Candy Gourlay]] and [[Angel Cake by Cathy Cassidy]].
