Glad you liked this Kidsmum, I thought it was a really good book with some wonderful characters, your sister's in for a treat.
In the last few days I've finished A Clash of Kings, really enjoyed it but it seemed to take me ages to read.
I also read and loved The Art of Racing in the Rain, thanks to those members who recommended it
Now I've started Double Dexter, only read a few chapters so far but it's looking good!
