Harry heard the key turn in the lock. He had already made up his mind to run. Struggling at school and unable to warm to his stepfather or the new baby, Harry finds an unlikely friend in Ocky, a chimpanzee from the circus – surely her owner won’t mind if he borrows her, just for a bit? But once his stepfather and the police catch on, Harry and the chimp find themselves on the run! A tale of fun and friendship from former Children’s Laureate and author of War Horse, Michael Morpurgo, this is a gripping and poignant animal adventure from the master storyteller behind An Eagle in the Snow, Listen to the Moon, Shadow, and An Elephant in the Garden. Michael Morpurgo has written more than a hundred books and won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award and the Children’s Book Award, and has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal four times.
