As hilarious as it is heartbreaking, another future classic from Costa Winner Kate Saunders (Five Children on the Western Front). Emily watched, in a trance of astonishment, as the bear opened the picnic basket, took out a tartan rug and spread it on Holly's bed. And then the penguin spoke.
Actually spoke. 'What's going on? This isn't Pointed End!'The bear said, 'It looks like a human bedroom. We must've come through the wrong door.''But there aren't any doors to the hard world in Deep Smockeroon! And we don't have a human bedroom any more.
We're in a box in the attic.'What if there exists a world powered by imagination?A world of silliness, where humans and their toys live on long after they've left the Hard World . . .
and what if the door between that world and this one was broken?
