The stories always draw you in, they are not always the sweetest by any means but are told in a way a child can understand without being very upsetting. The Dutch coachbuilding company has over two decades experience in the field, with a CV featuring the likes of a Bentley Flying Spur station wagon, a six-wheeled stretched Range Rover Sport and a Rolls-Royce Phantom pick-up. One of the UK’s best-loved authors and storytellers, Michael was appointed Children’s Laureate in 2003, a post he helped to set up with Ted Hughes in 1999.

However, there is so much here: famine, loss, gambling, slavery, the American dream, ideas about the treatment of children, maturation, family. The story is a historical fictional epic adventure with sadness and joy in equal measure, a roller-coaster way to a happy ending.

Unfortunately I got an ex library copy which I don't love too much but that has nothing to do with my rating here or on abebooks. It does start out a bit slow with the two main children, Sean and Annie, still at home with their sick dying mother. It was the last possession the children brought along with them and though they lost it tons of times (being stolen, etc) it always seemed to come back around to them.
