Cover Story
The illustration on our cover this month is by GeorgeUnderwood. It is from Geoffrey Trease's latest book, Fire in the Wind, published by Pan Macmillan, to whom we are grateful for help in using this illustration. Details of the book are given in our Authorgraph.
In this sequel to the award-winning Dear Mr Henshaw, Leigh Botts confronts his own bad attitude and gains confidence and better awareness about his relationships, especially with his separated parents. He also learns how to identify his true talents and thereby to become clearer about his future ... and all this principally because he found an abandoned dog on a beach. Slightly humorous, a bit romantic and gently wise, this should find a readership amongst thinking boys.
