The Day the World Stopped Turning

Wonderful, wonderful book for all ages.

This is a wonderful book. It is not necessarily based on true story, however the event that took place surrounding the story: such as the occupation of France and the pudding gypsies in concentration camps. Those things actually did occur. It is a sweet story about friendship. I like how the main characters are both minorities. And minorities that don't typically get a lot of FaceTime in the media or things like that. They are gypsies and probably some form of autism. The setting in France it sounds absolutely beautiful. I recommend this for almost any age. For young girl audiences as a read-aloud

very pleased thank you

Great author.

Bought this book along with flamingo boy very dissapointed as they are both the ssame story

Bought this for my son for Christmas, we have been reading it at bedtime and out of all the Michael Morpurgo books we have read together, this is my favourite. Would recommend to anyone who likes this author

Excellent book and My children enjoyed it. It was a very interesting book.

It's a wonderful, humane, evocative book ... but please note that it's NOT a new book from Sir Michael: it turns out to be a newly published American edition of the book called "Flamingo Boy" here in the UK. I wonder how many other people bought this, like me, not realising?
