Written by Carnegie and Costa Award-winning author Sally Gardner,
beautifully illustrated throughout with stunning illustrations from
Greenaway-shortlisted artist Chris Mould, and filled with heart,
humour, and imagination, Pernickety Boo is the unforgettable,
magical story of a very unusual umbrella. 'Hello,' said the
umbrella. 'Gosh,' said the boy. The umbrella's handle was carved in
the shape of a dog’s head, with a very long snout and a shiny
nose and ears that flopped back. 'You can talk.' 'I suppose I can,'
said the umbrella. 'Do you have a name?' asked the boy. 'No,' said
the umbrella. 'Do I need a name?' 'Yes,' said the small boy. 'You
need one for someone to let you in at the front door, and another
name to be let out the back door.' Brought to life by a careless
sorcerer, Pernickety Boo is a well-educated umbrella with
unexplored magical powers – and after he is left behind on the
London Underground by his forgetful creator, Pernickety must find
an owner: someone who will truly love him. So when Pernickety meets
young Sylvie Moonshine and is welcomed into her home, he thinks
that all of his prayers have been answered. But there are plenty of
other people who are also interested in the magical umbrella, and
who threaten to separate Pernickety from his beloved Sylvie, unless
he can find a way to stop them. Perfect for fans of A Bear Called
Paddington, The Velveteen Rabbit, and Winnie-the-Pooh, this instant
classic is a book for the whole family to share.
