Marcia Williams is perhaps best known for her lively introductions to Dickens, Shakespeare and the Greek myths, presented to young readers in an engaging and accessible comic style format. Here she turns her pen to a full length novel and it is very good. Aimed at her usual audience 8+ - Harry Christmas and Angie Moon have been best friends forever - but Harry is not well...how dare he be! Told as a diary by Angie this is lively, accessible, sad and funny. Perfect.
