If you fancy getting your hands on an early copy of Paul Wison's latest, Mouse and the Cossack, apply for one of 50 free copies.

A beautiful, heartbreaking mystery about Mouse, a young girl who has lost her voice. When she moves with her mother to a deserted farmhouse, she becomes intrigued by the traces of the previous inhabitant?s life there and uncovers his secret wartime past ? Paul Wilson is a winner of the Portico Prize for Literature for Do White Whales Sing at the Edge of the World? All those who are allocated copies will be notified next week and once again, please do post your feedback (or ask your Dcs to feedback) on this thread.

I have also started reading this (only just) and think I will just carry on with it - according to google its age range 15+ so I will be giving this a go (even though if it was 15x2 I'd still be too old!!)

I received this today, thank you.

I have started reading it and then it dawned on me maybe it is meant for my child. Can anyone advise me as to what age as so far I would be happy for her to read it but obviously I have only read the first handful of chapters.

Great - Just found out I am getting a copy.

But is this an adult book or one for the DCs ("or ask your DCs to feedback")?

Thanks - looking forward to receiving it.

Hi Jamaisjedors,
This book is a children's book, I hope you and your DC enjoy reading it Smile
