Description

A heart-warming and sensitive story about bullying from the former Children's Laureate and bestselling author is given a brand new package. Dilly's got a wart called George on his knee, causing him a lot of grief at school.

Funny and touching story from a multi award-winning author. Particularly suitable for dyslexic, reluctant and struggling readers

Author description

Originally a primary school teacher, Michael Morpurgo struggled to find books to excite and inspire his class. His solution was simple - he began writing them himself. Since then he has become one of Britain's best known and most prolific children's writers, a former Children's Laureate who has won countless prestigious awards including the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread prize. He lives in Iddesleigh, Devon, with his wife, Clare.
