A Boy, a Bear and a Boat by Dave Shelton |
Unexpected, quirky and surreal, you need to read this to capture its unique flavour as the reader follows the boy on his voyage to . . . well, where? The bear seems to know - or does he? - he is the captain, after all. They have to face storms, a sea monster and a sandwich that glows - not to mention their own company; will they survive? You may have to make up your own mind. Carnegie shortlist 2013
