Does Mr Manners, the headmaster, really own a machine that crushes marbles? Albert is convinced of it, in The Marble Crusher. In Colly’s Barn, Colly the owl and Screecher the swallow join forces to save their home. And in Conker, Nick beats the bully Stevie Rooster to become Conker king – but can he also rescue a mistreated dog while hunting for the finest conker of all? Three brilliant stories that will captivate young readers, aged seven and up, come from War Horse author and former Children’s Laureate Michael Morpurgo, whose gift for animal tales makes these ideal for engaging early readers and shows once again why he’s considered the master storyteller. Michael has written more than one hundred books for children including An Eagle in the Snow, Listen to the Moon, Private Peaceful, and An Elephant in the Garden, and has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award and the Children’s Book Award, as well as being shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal four times.
