The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce

The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell Boyce

From the best-selling author of Cosmic and Millions comes an evocative immigration tale about two brothers trying to survive-- a daring story that miraculously defies belief.

When two Mongolian brothers inexplicably appear one morning in Julie's sixth grade class, no one, least of all Julie, knows what to do with them. But when Chingis, the older of the two brothers, proclaims Julie as their Good Guide - a nomadic tradition of welcoming strangers to a new land - Julie must somehow navigate them through soccer, school uniforms, and British slang, all while trying to win Shocky's attention and perhaps also an invitation to her friend Mimi's house. At times funny, this moving and simply told novella tugs at the heart--a unique story of immigration both fierce in its telling and magical in its characters.

Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth, The Amazing Broccoli Boy, Cosmic, Framed, and Millions are among Frank Cottrell Boyce's works, the latter of which was a New York Times bestseller and was adapted into a film by Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle. Several accolades, including the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's Literature Prize, and the Whitbread Children's Book Award, have been won or nominated for his novels. Frank is also a screenwriter, having written the scripts for several feature films as well as the 2012 London Olympics opening ceremony. He and his family reside in Liverpool.
