I love the way Dernier books take kids on exciting journeys, whilst also dealing with some very real emotions and situations that they might be going through in real life. Paul and Trinity are twins – who don’t get on – and together they find a magic carpet. As they fly off on it, the carpet reveals some uncomfortable truths to them, adventure by adventure.
‘Revenge of the Flying Carpet’ talks about forgiveness and reconciliation, and would be wonderful for an 8-12 year old who is thinking about these issues.
