Cover story
On the front of BfK this month is the cover of Yesterday by Adèle Geras. The artwork is by Carolyn Piggford. This book is one from the 'Teenage Memoirs' series published by Walker (see the article, All Their Yesterdays, in this issue) and Adèle, of course, is the subject of our Authorgraph - see centre-spread. Our thanks to Walker Books for their help in using this illustration.
Sophie Hits Six
Sophie proves that size has nothing to do with persistence and her every effort is towards becoming a lady farmer. A new friend at school lives on a farm and Sophie is sure he can help her fulfil her dreams. He can, and does, but the dream is even more wonderful than Sophie had imagined. Yet another sensitive story from Dick King-Smith, who must walk around his farm and see a tale at every corner. After Paddy's Pot of Gold and Martin's Mice, my expectations were high: I wasn't disappointed and neither will you be.
