About the Author:
Melvin Burgess has written several highly acclaimed novels, including Billy Elliot; Doing It, winner of the Carnegie Medal and the LA Times Book Prize; and Smack which has been translated into 28 different languages. He has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal four additional times, including for An Angel for May.
From Booklist:
Time travel between the present day and the WWII British countryside provides the hook for this touching story of friendship and survival. Discouraged by his parents’ divorce, Tam finds refuge from his sadness in an abandoned farm near his home. Then Tam meets Rosey, a homeless woman, and her dog, Winnie. One cold day, Rosey and Winnie lead Tam into the farmhouse chimney. When Winnie pushes Tam into the opening, he “falls” into a working farmyard complete with animals, a farmer, Mr. Nutter, and May, the mentally ill girl who has survived a bombing raid. Winnie is a time traveler, too, as she is May’s pet and companion. Eventually, Tam realizes he must return to his own time in spite of his growing friendship with May and his love of farm life. Rosey’s true identity is predictable, but the revelation is very satisfying. Originally published in Great Britain in 1992, this was shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal. Grades 5-7. --Martha Edmundson
