Jake's Tower is a wonderful book about a boy who experienced a lot of difficulties in life at such a very young age. It exceptionally shows the feelings of a boy who does not lose hope in dreaming of his father, whom he has never met, and a tower where he wishes to live with his parents reunited. An amazingly touching book I was very much able to relate to. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
'It's good that I've found this secret place. I can come here and make plans. My main plan for the future is my dream house. It's very tall and thin. A tower really. There'll be a lift to whiz me up to the top. No one can get to me up there. It's totally safe.' In real life, Jake is never safe. He lives in constant fear of his mother's violent boyfriend. But in his imaginary tower he can dream up his own father - the stranger who gave him a cuddle and a fluffy duck the day he was born and went away for ever. Jake doesn't believe dreams ever come true. But sometimes they do - in strange and surprising ways. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Jake's Tower shows a family in crisis and the desperation that causes people to make difficult choices. The characters of Jake and his mother are fairly well developed as we feel the pain and anxiety they both go through in order to change the pattern of abuse in their lives. Other characters in the story are less well developed, leaving a bit of a whole in the story, but overall, Jake's Tower is a realistic rendition of living life in the midst of abuse. ( )
