Let's Chase Stars Together |
In this sequence of poems, beautifully packaged and presented by the publisher with the evocative illustrations of Oriol Vidal, Matt Goodfellow takes the reader through the experience of a 13 year old boy as he faces the problems, the sadness – and the joy in his life. The immediacy of the poems is instantly engaging, the language accessible, the emotions recognisable; an outstanding sequence of poems for young people (and adults).

Now We Begin |
Poetry for younger readers can be disappointing. So much seems to rely on laighter that is embarrassing. Not in this case. Matt Goodfellow looks at what it is to be a teenager progressing fro that nervous transition to Year 8 then on to Year 11. It is not always comfortable; but being a teen is not always comfortable. Indeed there are moments that are heart breaking. This is poetry to reach those young readers.
