Product Description
Review
Cattell and Agard's sequel to Butter-Finger is great fun, bringing the world of the Caribbean, its language, music, sport, friendship and rivalry, to vibrant life. The central theme of perseverance and triumph in the face of fear and adversity is explored both on the cricket field and the music platform. The novel is short and accessibly written; its tone consistently optimistic and warm-hearted, full of loyalty, friendship and encouragement. At the same time, the book is a celebration of the power of words. Agard interweaves the action with a panoply of Caribbean songs and rhymes, showing how verse can be used to revel in life, cricket and human diversity. (www.writeaway.org.uk )
