Synopsis

Believing in magic makes dreams come true...

Jackie dreams of having a horse of her own, one that'll be the fastest on the estate, the fastest in all Ireland and the fastest in the world. Mum dreams of a little cottage in the country for her and Jackie to live in.

What they get is a garden gnome that Jackie finds in a rubbish skip; one she lovingly repairs and paints; a gnome she calls Mr Skip.

And Jackie soon discovers that with Mr Skip, anything is possible.

Media Reviews

Praise for Michael Morpurgo:
Michael Morpurgo writes brilliantly about war and animals, conveying the big emotions without preaching. - The Guardian

Champagne quality over a wide range of subjects. - Daily Telegraph

There are few children's writers as compelling as Michael Morpurgo. - Daily Express

Morpurgo's gift is to make this long-ago world of danger and heartbreak accessible without ever patronising his young readers. - Sunday Mercury

Morpurgo, as always, is subtle and skillful, and incorporates social and moral issues into his writing without being self-righteous or detracting from the quality of the narrative
Elizabeth Reilly - British Council

The former children's laureate has the happy knack of speaking to both child and adult readers. -The Guardian.
