From the author of the fantastic book 'Millions', comes a touching story of a primary school friendship; between a girl from Liverpool and two Mongolian brothers. Adventures in Bootle, Liverpool begin when Chingis and Nergui join Julie O’Connors’ year six class at school.
They stood out at first because both brothers came into school wearing long coats lined with fur, even though the air was scorching hot. With a Polaroid camera in tow, Chingis educates his classmates about Mongolian culture and the famous Chingis Khan (whom he is named after) and enlists Julie as their ‘Good Guide’ to teach them the ways of Bootle.
Dispersed with Polaroid photographs every few pages, this is a truly unique and wonderful read teaching children about the wonderful but sad parts of meeting refugees.
Recommended age 8+
Published by Walker Books in 2011 in hardcover and is £10.
