This engaging and accessible novel follows Jenny, her younger brother, Stevie, and the giant bronze statue of the steelworkers at the Meadowhall shopping centre. Stevie is convinced that they can move and talk, but Jenny doesn’t believe him. Is it just his imagination or is there really something else about the statues?
This new edition includes the original illustrations, and also features a brand new cover, a note from the author and Book Club questions, to further boost engagement and the reading experience.
“A gem… Warmly embracing three generations of steel-town dwellers, Tomlinson writes a thoughtful tale that glows with character.” Scotland on Sunday
