A children's novel exploring family, friendship and courage.
Allan believes he is very unfortunately born: his mismatching eyes, his uncontrollable hair, his satellite dish ears, his old-fashioned name… The icing on the cake is his clumsiness. Everything else about him people agree to be beyond his control but calamities follow him, mishaps surround him and disasters befall anyone crossing his path, earning him a reputation as a nuisance everywhere he goes.
Soon after starting Year 6, his clumsiness is mistaken for a deliberate prank, with unhappy consequences. Allan decides he’s had enough and makes a Plan to avoid further disasters. But will it work?
It is nice to see a positive character for kids, one that is learning how to accept himself, including his failures and frustrations.
About the Author
Heather Wilson
Born in 1975, Heather Wilson spent her earliest years with her nose stuck in a book or playing in the Cheshire countryside. She was regularly in trouble for reading instead of helping around the house! She enjoyed creative writing at school and received an award for English, aged 12.
Heather went to London University to study Pharmacy and met her husband in the first week there. She went on to work as a hospital pharmacist, specialising in mental health, before they sold everything and travelled round the world together.
Now they are settled in beautiful Dorset with two awesome children, two cute rabbits and, of course, an adorable guinea pig. As well as looking after her family, Heather works as a carer, helping people live independently in their own homes.
