"An amazingly gifted writer." The Times Educational Supplement; "One of the leading writers for teenagers of the decade." The Observer
Product Description
Three of the bestselling, most acclaimed fiction titles of the past decade, reissued with stylish and attractive new covers. Turned into a major feature film, Janni Howker's The Nature of the Beast is an immensely powerful and gripping story about a community devastated by unemployment and the fear of an unknown beast roaming the moors - and which young Bill Coward is determined to track down. Isaac Campion is an equally explosive tale, depicting the difficult, often bitter relationship between a son and his horse-dealer father at the turn of the century. Badger on the Barge contains five stories, each concerning the relationship between the young and the old and full of memorable characters. Each of these books is a major award-winner.

Format:Paperback
Isaac Campion is a story that I have read to many youngsters in the course of my work as a teacher of yr 6 children. It never fails to produce total absorption and wide eyed attention! It deals with many issues which are relevant to modern children despite being historically based and the quality of the language and vivid descriptions are second to none. A GREAT read. Try it!!
Format:Paperback
Isaac Campion is an appallingly awful and tedious book. It has absolutely no purpose whatsoever other than to waste your time and tire your eyes. The characters are one dimensional and Isaac is the worst simply by being a very dull individual. Large portions of the book can simply be deemed 'filler' providing no apparent function to the overall plot or character development, they're only purpose appearing to be to provide a buffer zone between the nauseatingly slow narrative. The fact that this book should feature on so many syllabi is frankly astounding and if you value the mental health of the young minds taken into your care you will not force them through this mind-numbingly boring trial.
