Many thanks to Macmillan Children's Books for sending this brilliant story to Bookbag.
Further reading suggestion: There are many other excellent tales of young people who have to make their way unscathed through the crazy societies created by adults. One such is [[Ice Angel by Charlotte Haptie]], and another is [[Neversuch House by Elliott Elliot Skell]]. And if you hanker for a rather more unusual hero, you'll love [[Sebastian Darke: A Buffalope's Tale by Philip Caveney]].
