(Being different. Finding your special skill)
Much smaller than the rest of his class, living above a Chinese takeaway, Charlie Han doesn’t have an easy life. He has an overbearing, overprotective mum and a silent, conciliatory dad. His only friend is Sinus (Linus) whose big nose also makes him an outcast. Charlie is clumsy and a regular participant of the school ‘walk of shame’ and this seems to be his lot until he finds something that he might be good at. The only problem is that his mum can never find out what it is…
The Bubble Wrap Boy is a story of secrets, dreams and forgiveness. It is funny, quirky, sad and thought-provoking and has made my children think about that one thing that they could be really good at!
