Book review on: The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket, John Boyne
This book is about a boy, his name is Barnaby Brocket. Before he came along his family was normal. In the family there was a normal mum called Elinor, a normal dad called Alistair, a normal girl called Melanie, who went to a normal school along with her normal brother Henry. This perfectly normal family also have a normal dog called Captain W.E Johns. The Brocket family was perfectly normal until, Barnaby came along. He was not normal because he disobeyed the laws of gravity. Because of this he was not loved by his parents. His parents were afraid that with a floating child they would stand out from the crowd. And that wasn't normal. So for this reason he did not get as much love and attention from his parents as Henry and Melanie. Henry and Melanie though think that it is awesome having a floating little brother. One day Barnaby's parents decide that they have had enough of their non normal child and come up with an evil plan to get rid of him. Read the book and find out what this evil plan is and whether Barnaby will ever come home to his family again.
