Themes: Attitudes/ Determination/ Equality/ Journeys/ Popularity/
Prejudice/ Xenophobia
It has been worked out that A and C and P are all popular
letters in the land of Alphabet and they have become rich and famous but what
about the not so often used X’s and Y’s and Z’s? Shouldn’t they have a say and
some words as well? When these
three letters decide to stand up for themselves and to journey the world in
search of five words each something very special happens for every letter in
the alphabet community.
A clever story that has something to say to all ages and illustrations
that have given Jenny Cooper full reign for her fertile imagination. A
deserving winner of the Storylines Joy Cowley Award for 2012.
