The Willow Man
By Sue Purkiss
The touching and uplifting story of three young people struggling to deal with the blows that life has dealt them.
When his younger sister Sophie has a stroke, twelve-year-old Tom feels jealous and guilty, impatient and scared all at the same time. His mate Ash is the only one that seems to understand. But Ash has problems of his own. His Dad has unexpectedly returned after years in and out of jail, and the fragile balance of Ash's family crumbles. Sophie believes that the willow man is magical and can help them all. But the willow man is burnt to the ground, taking with it all her dreams. Only by helping each other can the children mend their fractured lives.
- A moving tale about the healing power of friendship and acceptance.
