I‘m processing my sadness over the passing of John Marsden by revisiting his brilliant books, starting with his debut.
I remember my grade 5 teacher reading this to the class and I‘ve read it several times since. Even though I know what happens I‘m still completely absorbed.
I‘ve gotten something a little different from it each time.
