Originally published as Caldicott Place (1967) ( ) It's many years since I last read this book, another of my childhood favourites. I'd pretty much forgotten the plot. Three children don't realise how happy they are until their father is in a nasty car accident. He recovers, physically, but remains in an emotional fog for many months. Struggling financially, the family move to a small flat, which really doesn't work out.. then a totally unexpected event thrusts them into a completely new lifestyle in the countryside, with some temporary additions to the family. Great characterisation, some very moving moments, and while part of the plot is a little unlikely, the story works well. Officially recommended for children of eight and over, but I found it very enjoyable as an adult; ideal to read aloud to any child who's ready for chapter books. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When their father is injured in an accident, life changes for the Johnstone family. Unable to afford their home, they have to move to a small London flat. Carol can no longer go to ballet school and Tim is heartbroken as he must leave his beloved dog, Jelly, behind. Then, it seems, their wishes are granted: in an extraordinary twist of fate, Tim inherits a dilapidated country house, Caldicott Place, where the family - including Jelly - can live together. But the house is badly in need of repair and they have no money, so a solution is found - the family start to look after wealthy children in the school holidays. Although they dread the prospect of sharing their newly found home with rich spoiled children, perhaps friendships can be found in the unlikeliest places.
