Y5: The Boy in the Tower

by Polly Ho-Yen

Ade loves living at the top of a tower block. From his window, he feels like he can see the whole world stretching out beneath him. His mum doesn't really like looking outside – but it's going outside that she hates. She prefers to sleep all day inside their tower, where it's safe.

“It is about a boy and his mum is poorly and he goes on an adventure.” – Mariza

“I like it because it is adventurous.” – Corey

“It is very detailed with lots of description.” – Alice
