Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller, former Children's Laureate and multi-award winner.

This is a fresh reissue of a much-loved story with a beautiful new cover. This is another summer, another foster family. George has already made up his mind to run away, back to the children's home. None of the previous families have wanted him. Why should the Dyers be any different?

But George begins to feel at ease with Tom Dyer and his sister Storme, even happy, and changes his mind. He could even feel at home with them - couldn't he?
