Belly Flop

1996, morris-gleitzman

3/5

Another one from my childhood. My parents had gotten it as a gift from the one time they'd gone on Virgin Airlines, which I think is an excellent marketing gimmick.Overall, good book. I liked Gran and the Webbers. The townspeople I hated, because they're hateful people who're mean to a kid for circumstances out of his control. It's not his fault they took out loans, and it's not his dad's fault they didn't pay it back, and it's not the mum's fault it never rained. So although I'm glad things worked out in the end, I'd rather the whole family had moved somewhere else because who's to say the townspeople won't turn on them again? All in all, good book.
