About this product

Product Information

When his grandfathers dementia raises the specter of foster care, Arlo flees to find his only other family member in this genuine, heartening novel. Arlos grandfather travels in time. Not literally -- he just mixes up the past with the present. Arlo holds on as best he can, fixing himself cornflakes for dinner and paying back the owner of the corner store for the sausages Poppo eats without remembering to pay. But how long before someone finds out that Arlo is taking care of the grandfather he lives with instead of the other way around? When Poppo lands in the hospital and a social worker comes to take charge, Arlos fear of foster care sends him alone across three hundred miles. Armed with a name and a town, Arlo finds his only other family member -- the grandmother he doesnt remember ever meeting. But just finding her isnt enough to make them a family. Unfailingly honest and touched with a dash of magical realism, Sarah Sullivans evocative debut novel delves into a family mystery and unearths universal truths about home, trust, friendship, and strength -- all the things a boy needs.

"The story and the illustrations are both enchanting and endearing."-The New York Times Book Review "Utterly universal. Readers will empathize with the lovable Wombat's sadness and ultimate joy."-Family Life "Take[s] a playful approach to Christmas and its pleasures are infectious."-Publishers Weekly, Wombat is a cute and lovable character with a passion for the stage and a desire to be in the nativity play. The popular illustrations of Kerry Argent are well loved by children, and this book could easily become a Christmas classic., The show must go on'and the annual Nativity play is no exception. Ready to break a leg, Wombat eagerly auditions for every part in the production, only to find that he's not quite suited for any of them. When fussy director Emu brilliantly suggests that Wombat accept the important role of baby Jesus, the play is finally ready for opening night. In her humorous and understated watercolors, Argent's (One Woolly Wombat) beguiling bunch of Australian animals embodies a refreshing all-for-one Christmas spirit. Fox's (Time for Bed) title is one of the few this season to take a playful approach to Christmas and its pleasures are infectious. Ages 4-8., "The story and the illustrations are both enchanting and endearing."The New York Times Book Review "Utterly universal.
