THE UNFORGOTTEN COAT – REVIEW BY CM

When Chingis and Nergui from Mongolia arrive at Julie’s school, she is fascinated by how different they are. She becomes their ‘good guide’ and their friend, showing them around her world inside and outside school. Chingis says that a demon is following them, so they must confuse and mislead it, and although she knows demons don’t exist, Julie guides them through this too…

The Unforgotten Coat is written by Frank Cottrell Boyce, who wrote Millions and Cosmic and it is just as laugh-out-loud funny as his other books. There is a serious message however, to provide a sting in the tail.
