Marty knows he is different from other children. He lives squeezed into a house with his mum, broken toys, piles of newspapers and just about mountains of everything! Marty doesn’t have any friends at school until he strikes up a conversation with a new girl who’s deaf, called Gracie. He is only happy when with his Grandad on his allotment. One birthday, Grandad gives Marty a very special seed, that will propel Marty, Gracie and Grandad into a journey beyond their wildest dreams.
With elements of fairy tale and a sensitive portrayal of adult-child relationships, this is a beguiling tale, perfect for KS2.
