Format:Paperback
`Burglar Boy' is a delightful story of an unfortunate young boy who steals for his brother. He believes he is unloved by everyone, but is he? One day, during a break-in, he meets someone very special who will change his life forever. A very heart-warming story, extremely well written by the Author.
Format:Paperback
This book is very well written. I always like a book when you can imagine being in the character's 'head'. In this case a young boy called 'Dean'.
The book is easy to read, with a momentum and pace that keeps you wanting to read more.
You are left wondering and hoping that this child turns out alright.
It is a suitable read for both adults and children.
It has a compelling message, which is 'a little kindness goes a long way'.
