Flour Babies

Flour Babies by Anne Fine, won the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award in 1992. When the annual school science fair comes round, Mr Cartwright's class don't get to work on the Soap Factory, the Maggot Farm or the Exploding Custard Tins. To their intense disgust they get the Flour Babies - sweet little six-pound bags of flour that must be cared for at all times.

Funny and poignant, Flour Babies is a brilliant depiction of secondary school life.

Reviews

Rob Child's love for football is obvious and sincere. I'm so glad he writes and gives me yet more material to offer my book-hating boys

—— Books for Keeps

There's a lot of laughs in it

—— Six O'Clock Show, Virgin Media One

Brilliant!
