Am I crying? Yes I am!
This book is a gem. Michael Morpurgo, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! These 'thank you's can never be enough!
This book follows the life of Arthur Hobhouse, then the journey of his daughter, Alexie (Allie) Hobhouse. Arthur, when he was 6, was transported to Australia. He didn't know who his family was, but he remembered his elder sister, Kitty, who had given him a lucky key to where. In Australia, he was a part of a farm, which had made his life a living hell. The farmer was...ugh.
Then, he was with Aunty Megs. An animal lover, and a farm owner. She would take care of the wild animals, and then leave them on their own, as they grew up. She had a wombat - Henry, who stole many fabrics! And Barnaby, a donkey, who would never do an ee-aw!
She was so good, I loved her so much. So much. But then, the kids were growing up, and she had to leave them, didn't she?
With Aunty Megs, Arthur and Marty had learned building yachts, and now they were building bigger yachts and boats. They would go for trials on the sea and soon came to love it.
The rest of the journey was hard for me to follow, because of the tears in my eyes. The deaths, ugh.
Then came his family, and Allie. The parts with Aunty Megs and Zita were the best of all.
Then we follow Allie's journey. With her father's lucky key, the emails, a guardian Albatross, and Kitty 4, why fear?
It wasn't a private journey, Allie had a website for tracking how far Kitty 4 went, and for tracking the real Kitty. There were interviews and so many articles.
This journey was so heartfelt. Sometimes I doubted that they would ever find Kitty, but see for yourself. All the questions are clear.
I loved it, with all my heart. I just want more.
