The Unforgotten Coat

by Frank Cottrell Boyce   |  Ages 9-12
RM44.19 MYR
The Unforgotten Coat
The Unforgotten Coat

Magical summer tale explores refugee friendship, adversity.

Imagine feeling a world apart yet striving to belong—that's the core of "The Unforgotten Coat." As you turn the pages, you'll find yourself in Liverpool, yet whisked away to the Mongolian steppe through the eyes of two young refugees and their friend, Julie. Frank Cottrell Boyce has a way of infusing humor and warmth into a story that delves deep into the themes of friendship, culture clash, and the resilience of children. It's a quick read, but one that lingers with its poignant narrative and entrancing Polaroid images.

Description

Two refugee brothers from Mongolia are determined to fit in with their Liverpool schoolmates, but bring so much of Mongolia to Bootle that their new friend and guide, Julie, is hard-pressed to know truth from fantasy as she recollects a wonderful friendship that was abruptly ended when Chingis and his family were forced to return to Mongolia. Told with the humour, warmth and brilliance of detail which characterizes Frank Cottrell Boyce's writing, this magical and compelling story is enriched by stunning and atmospheric Polaroid photos.
