The Secret Line

Jo can't bear the attitude of peole around her: the teacher who wants to help but can't face the truth that Jo's half black (not just half-white); Straker, the bully who torments and follows her; and most of all, her mum, who refuses to talk about the past and allow Jo to find out about her real dad. That's why she needs Mit - he takes her to a secret world beyond reality, a place where Jo can decide who she really is.

Reviews

Good for someone who has just learned to read and wants to tackle a real book

—— The Spectator

An affectionate, lively adventure . . . Will appeal to any child who's ever nagged for a pet

—— Mail on Sunday

A delightful story which is not too demanding yet not too repetitive

—— Junior Bookshelf

A delightful story with pace and good characterisation. Corgi Pups are perfect for those readers just embarking on "real" books
