The Magic Whistle and the Tiny Bag of Wishes


Book Description

Logan is a sad little boy who is bullied at school by thoughtless unfeeling children who like to make fun of him. His life is already a sad one because of circumstances beyond his control out of which initially he can see no escape. At home, following his attempt to put these unpleasant episodes behind him, an annoying noise disturbs his Saturday in front of the television - his only enjoyable time of escape from the daily sadness he experiences. Scouring the house to find the source, the unexpected inevitably takes him away from the humdrum existence he leads, into a world that is so vibrantly different from his own. What will he find in this place? Why has he been brought here, and will he ever return to his normal life?
