Young Froglet will indeed (mainly because you persist in calling me young but partly because I'm avoiding writing my reports! ) Like FM says it's a surprisingly violent start to this lovely book which is a tear jerker but not because of the axe related opening! I think it's a book about friendship and brains! Perhaps FM can help me out with some clues as she knows what it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will always be 'young Froglet' to me - that's how I think of you 'friendship and brains' - I'm thinking...….can you hear the cogs turning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I almost did go for that - can’t remember why I didn’t now! This book always reminds me of one by Dick King-Smith (same main character) which in turn reminds me of Saint Saens organ symphony number 3...

Hope you've washed you hands.
