The Whitbread 2000 Book of the Year is a haunting and captivating
work of historical fiction for children. The Coram man takes babies
and money from desperate mothers, promising to deliver them safely
to a Foundling Hospital in London. Instead, he murders them and
buries them by the roadside, to the helpless horror of his mentally
ill son, Mish. Mish saves one, Aaron, who grows up happily unaware
of his history, proving himself a promising musician. As Aaron's
new life takes him closer to his real family, the watchful Mish
makes a terrible mistake, delivering Aaron and his best friend Toby
back into the hands of the Coram man. It tells the story of a dark
time in English history. Fans of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas and
Goodnight Mr Tom will love this. A great read for children aged
10+. Look out for Jamilla's other titles: The Eye of the Horse The
Robber Baron's Daughter The Track of the Wind Wheel of Surya Coram
Boy won the 2000 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year, was
shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and has been adapted into a
highly acclaimed stage play. Jamila Gavin was born in Mussoorie,
India, in the foothills of the Himalayas. With an Indian father and
an English mother, she inherited two rich cultures which ran side
by side throughout her life, and which always made her feel she
belonged to both countries. The family finally settled in England
where Jamila completed her schooling, was a music student, worked
for the BBC and became a mother of two children. It was then that
she began writing children's books, and felt a need to reflect the
multi-cultural world in which she and her children now lived.
