Caryl Lewis has created a warm and fuzzy tale that sets roots in your heart and sends shoots or wonderment through your body. Her focus on family and the debilitating problems of hoarding, the impact mental illness has on those around them, the problems of fitting in and the need to always have hopes and dreams fertilise this magical story.

Coastlines Marty sat down quietly and shrugged. Now, Grandad was always sparkly-eyed but today he was fizzing inside about something. This wasn’t entirely unusual, because Grandad had a history of getting very excited about strange things. Such as the time he thought he had brewed a new wonder fuel from rhubarb leaves and wanted to call NASA, and the time he built an automatic slug squisher out of six pairs of old boots and an old vacuum cleaner, oh, and the time he built the bum scratcher 2000, and an automatic tea stirrer 250, which worked so well it stirred and stirred Marty’s mug of tea until it started sloshing from side to side more and more violently and suddenly flew off sideways in a spray of scalding liquid, forcing them both to throw themselves on the ground for fear of burning themselves. Today though, Marty could tell that something else was up. Next, you’ll want to collect the essential tools and materials for growing this species, like a gardening hoe and low-fertility soil. You’ll find a complete list of items and materials for planting Blue Flax in the Essential Tools section below. What’s the Best Soil for Lewis Flax Coffee house Caffè Nero has announced the 16-strong shortlist for the inaugural Nero Book Awards, recognising the outstanding books of the past 12...And you never know what this little stunner has in store for us,” Grandad said, taking the seed from Marty’s palm. “There’s magic in seeds, you know”—he winked—“you can never tell what wonders are in them.” It’s almost time to plant your Lewis Flax. But first, you must ensure the spot you choose gets plenty of full sun throughout the day. Ensure you have enough room to plant your seeds between four and six inches apart.

A spade or hoe may help in loosening the top few inches of earth. There is no room for dreams, no reason to hope, he just survives. And then he meets Gracie. Gracie has big dreams, dreams that she shares with Marty, dreams that seem almost impossible and yet, somehow he believes that she can do it. Grandad has big dreams, wild and crazy dreams and they all begin with the special seed that he gifts Marty to grow and nurture. And slowly, as the seed begins to stretch out its roots and unfurl its leaves, so the seeds of hope grow in Marty, too. And with hope comes belief, and with belief comes an adventure, an adventure so utterly marvellous and magical that changes the lives of everyone it touches. I hadn't read a book with a deaf person as one of the main characters before and it made me think about lots of things I just take for granted. I love Gracie's courage - she goes for her goals and I wish I was a little bit more like her.' C aged 10

All right, Marty boy?” Grandad flashed his toothy grin and passed him a mug of tea so sweet you could live off it for a week.
