What a delightful little tale written by Rosanne Hawke. Here is a story within a story. Kelsey is not happy about travelling to flood-ruined Pakistan with her parents. Her grandmother in Australia talks to her on Skype and tells her the story of the porcelain doll, Amy Jo. Both Kelsey and the doll are on adventures which will change their lives. This book is suitable as a read aloud by the classroom teacher or a great snuggle-up and read by students from aged 7 to 11. The themes covered in the book are: courage, friendship, relationships, empathy.
Schools who subscribe to Australian Standing Orders (ASO) will find this on their shelves.
Magpies magazine states: "There are PDF teachers’ notes ‘aligned with the Australian Curriculum’ from the publisher’s website, www.uqp.com.au
