This quirky novel is about Barnaby Brocket, a floating boy. His parents are obsessed with being normal so they are most put out when their third child floats. For eight years they look after him until it gets too much and they let him float away once and for all (cruel parents that they are).
Except the story doesn’t end there, in fact it is a beginning of sorts as Barnaby has a round the world adventure where he meets lots of people who were rejected by the parents too. It is a journey of self-discovery, and a story about how being different is fine.
I enjoyed this book which would be ideal for children wanting something fun to read.
(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed here.)
