Twist of Gold

Product Information

Morpurgo just has a knack of not merely capturing a world that would be otherwise entirely unfamiliar, but forcing us to engage with and love his characters and, particularly at the end, grabbing us emotionally and forcing us to shed a tear. In addition to our Lovereading expert opinion for Twist of Gold a small number of children were lucky enough to be invited to review this title. However, with the arrival of the English, the land that they love has become a plague ridden one where many starve during the Potato Famine and where there is little hope for the future. The story is packed with more adventures after this as they slowly make their way towards the place they believe their father will be. Finishing touches are provided by a chrome strip running from the A-pillar, along the roofline and around the panoramic roof, with a body finished in green metallic paint with a twist of gold.
