Water Wings (2001) - Plot & Excerpts

This book was a pleasure to read and has all the Gleitzman trademarks: young, lovable, naive central character; lots of humour embedded in the story; serious "issue" (or in this case issues) being dealt with.Hard to talk about the end without spoilers - but I did feel the "issue" of choice being addressed sort of snuck up on me and wasn't what I was expecting. I also wasn't comfortable with just how involved Pearl was at the end - it is a very fine line. It is this that prevents me from reading the book to my class. I think this would be fine for the 10+ age group it is aimed at if they chose it themselves, it would certainly lead to a lot of conversation, but I am not sure I want to be the one who selects it for them (if that makes sense).
