Mainly - (I cannot even believe I'm writing this) SPOILER ALERT the main character's mother is a professional stowaway, and one character in the book actually calls it unironically "a career". I don't understand. So the mother rejected the responsibility of bringing up a child and instead ran away to be a professional stowaway on boats. And they even call her "brave" at some point. Isn't this - what is the buzz word of today - "problematic"? ("What does your mummy do for living?" "Oh, she is a professional cheater and liar. Isn't that exciting?")

We both absolutely loved it. It’s gripping and immersive. The lead character, Patch, is a strong role model; so much so that we ask ourselves frequently now, “what would Patch do in this situation?”

This is an intricately woven and skilfully paced story which I’m sure will keep readers aged nine to twelve gripped to the end. Being set in 1910 it also provides many starting points for discussion, about class, the perceived status of women at that time and the working conditions endured by most people. Stowaway tells the story of Michael Adams, an accidental stowaway on a two-year mission to Mars but just how did Michael get on the ship? The Accidental Stowaway delves into themes of: friendship, loss, hope and courage. I really loved how Patch's character evolved and softened throughout the story. This is a great story for feisty young females, who wish to make their mark on the world. True escapism, filled with the trials of friendships, secrets and adventure.

Pretty bleak stuff, and we don’t even know for sure if they make it to Mars! So was Zoe’s sacrifice worth it in the end? Well, when we spoke with Penna, we asked him outright if they complete their mission to Mars, and though he didn’t directly confirm it, he had a lot to say about hope – and how much effort they put into making sure the film ends with that hope.When Patch runs up the gangway of steamship, RMS Glorious, she isn't planning to hang around. But if she leaves her hiding place the constable might catch her: sitting tight is worth the risk. Too late, she realises the ship is setting sail! Patch has become an accidental stowaway. Esme Leonard, with her persistent frown and grumpiness, lay claim to the moniker ‘Crosspatch’ from the moment she was born. Abandoned by her mother, Patch, as she became known, was passed from one distant, decreasingly wealthy relative to another: none being able nor willing to soften her grumpiness or tame her fierce independence. Exposure to her ancestral grandeur and wealth allowed Patch to become imbued with the social etiquette demanded by higher society. Skills that would prove to be very useful to her as her story unfolds. I love both reading and writing stories. I couldn’t do one without the other. T his month you will discover some brilliant stories too ; stories that will feed your imagination, stories that you can tell to your family and friends. Maybe you will decide to write your own story . Liverpool, 1910. The awkward 12-year-old Patch has spent her childhood being handed from one reluctant relation to another—she knows she doesn’t fit in, but she is determined to look after herself and live the life she wants. Then one day everything goes spectacularly wrong and, accused of a crime she didn’t commit, she escapes her pursuers by roller-skating up a gangplank onto an ocean liner bound for New York—only to become an accidental stowaway when it sets sail.
