Anywhere at all?Amid the chaos of breaktime, Finley Tandy sits peacefully on the wall. Mr Goodhew, watching from the staffroom, is in awe of the boy's gift for stillness, and his seemingly cast-iron happiness. But tranquility may be catching. Because gradually everyone in the school comes to appreciate what Finley's long silences can offer. Even Juliet finds answers to her crushing worries when she's close to Finley, up on the wall.A warm and witty novel, with a lot to say about the value of silence and self-acceptance, this new young teen story from Anne Fine is the perfect 'transition read' for those approaching the new challenges and joys of the first year of secondary school.

Mer om författaren

Former Children's Laureate Anne Fine has written over seventy books for children and won many prizes and accolades, including twice winning the Carnegie Medal. Her writing very often tackles series social issues but can also be laugh-out-loud funny and her range is demonstrated by the successes of Madame Doubtfire and Goggle Eyes.

Recensioner i media

On the Wall traces several journeys through that daunting first year of high school. Pupil and teacher perspectives are insightfully interwoven. This is a story filled with compassion and understanding which I read with considerable enjoyment, suitable for ages 9+ and particularly appealing for Year 6 and 7. (aged 10+)
