Norman Silver Book order

An easy to read story about how a boy can control his temper without being shamed.

Armstrong's house is noisy. Mum, Dad, baby Bubbles and Chum the dog are forever making a racket; hoovering, shouting, banging and barking. It's all too much for quiet little Armstrong who is always getting in the way. 'Go outside and build, ' says Dad, tripping over some of Armstrong's plastic bricks. And so Armstrong does just that. Building high up into the sky, he lassoes a cloud and sits there contentedly in the perfect peace and quiet.

When teenager Selwyn Lewis emigrates from South Africa to England he hopes to escape his guilty past but his rigid attitudes prevent him from settling or making friends.
