Dear Olly,
By Michael Morpurgo.
This book is about a girl named Olly her brother (Matt) and the swallows.
Olly's brother Matt has been training for years to be a vet, but he's also very good at dressing up for parties as a clown. One night Olly, Matt and their mum are watching T.V and an advert for sick children in Africa comes on. Matt realises that the children are not happy and wants to try and make them happy. Matt packs his bags, throws away his career as a vet and goes to Africa to bring some joy with his party piece as a clown to some of the sick children.
I liked this book because it involved animals aswell as people. The text was large and easy to read. I would say it was for readers 7-13 as it was an easy read.
