When Mum says they have to go, Sam and his sister decide to throw them a party - one the entire family will never forget! Particularly suitable for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers.
Sam loves making gnomes out of clay. Dozens and dozens and dozens of gnomes, living huddled together out in the shed.

And so Sam plans a send-off for his little clay friends - a send-off that turns into a night the family will never forget! Particularly suitable for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers.
