Mr Finch, Alfie's Year 6 teacher, finds fault in everything
Alfie does and even his parents worry about him just scraping his knees or
walking to school on his own.
Life is tough for Alfie. At school, the mistakes feel
massive under the sharp eyes of the nasty Mr Finch; at home, even the smallest
adventure gets wrapped in layers of "No, just in case."
But his two best and loyal friends, Charlie and Saima are at
his side and make his days brighter. Together, with the help of the mysterious
librarian, Miss Isadora Dean, the friends stumble on a possible solution.
Perhaps at last, Alfie can gain the courage to face his fears and problems.
What strange and mystical discovery have they made?
Can Alfie turn things around?
Will he find the courage to follow it through?
