Illustrated by
Gemma O'Callaghan.
Young Michael is scared of his grandfather, who was badly burned and scarred in World War II. Summers spent together on the Isles of Scilly bring understanding, love, and the means to unite the whole family. The elegant prose illuminates the physical and emotional scars of war, while the spare illustrations in fiery oranges and muted blues give readers needed distance.
