Alfie felt like an outsider at his new school. Would a trip to a local forest school change his feelings?
Written by Tony Bradman, this story highlights the challenges faced by children when they move school - and the unexpected ways they can find friends. Gold/Band 9 offers developing readers more challenging literary language and stories with distinctive characters.
Formal non-fiction is included, with a range of unfamiliar terms used. Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
