Noah Barleywater Runs Away

Title: Noah Barleywater Runs Away
Author: John Boyne
Type of book: Fiction

This is an amazing book. I would recommend it to year 3 up. It is about an eight-year-old boy called Noah Barleywater. Noah runs away and meets an old man and his puppets. This is a truly magical book with moving trees, talking clocks and a wall-mounted timekeeping device. It also includes 14 amazing pictures of things in the book.
The tree was taking up its regular position when a young ruffian appeared out of nowhere and threw himself upon it, stealing three apples and causing one to fall off the branch and become bruised on the ground. Both tree and apples are being rushed to hospital doctors say the next twenty-four hours will be crucial.
