Synopsis
Ten-year-old Jamie Matthews has just moved to the Lake District with his Dad and his teenage sister, Jasmine for a 'Fresh New Start'. Five years ago his sister's twin, Rose, was blown up by a terrorist bomb. His parents are wrecked by their grief, Jasmine turns to piercing, pink hair and stops eating. The family falls apart. But Jamie hasn't cried in all that time. To him Rose is just a distant memory. Jamie is far more interested in his cat, Roger, his birthday Spiderman T-shirt, and in keeping his new friend Sunya a secret from his dad. And in his deep longing and unshakeable belief that his Mum will come back to the family she walked out on months ago. When he sees a TV advert for a talent show, he feels certain that this will change everything and bring them all back together once and for all.
Review
What can one say about David Tennant and his rendition of Annabel Pitcher's book that hasn't been said before. It is quite simply stunning, brilliant, fantastic - well you know the rest!
David grabs you by the goolies within seconds of you listening to the story about Jamie, his sister Jasmine, his dead twin sister Rose, father and mother and last but not least Roger the cat!
I was incredibly moved when I read the hardback, but this version read by David Tennant perfectly captures all the feelings I felt originally and then magnifies them!
What more can I say - I more than highly recommend this audio cd - buy it - you won't regret it.
