Product Description
When Stevie Rooster is mean about Nick's old dog dying, Nick throws Stevie's best conker into the pond. But Grandma says there's a better way to get back at Stevie - become Conker King of Jubilee Park. In order to do that, Nick must use some conkers from the tree in the old scrapyard. And in that scrapyard is a skinny, starving dog who looks like Nick's old dog. Can Nick rescue the dog and become conker champion? This is a moving story about grief, redemption and the love of a family pet.

My son is just starting to get confident with reading. He has always loved Morpugo's books when we read them to him at nght. Michael Morpugo's "Conker" is very compelling and deals with a young lad who lives with his Gran and loves his Dog "Old Station" or "Alsation" - we can joke about this spelling! The story deals with real life events and experiences and does not flinch from raw emotion. Both My son and I have enjoyed it and have looked forward to him reading it bit by bit each night. This is a good read for a little boy.
