The Soup Movement by Ben Davis
When Jordan finally gets invited to go to the chippy with the cool kids, he feels stupid carrying around a flask of mum's wholesome soup. He decides instead to give it to a homeless man called Harry. It's this one act of kindness that leads to a host of new friendships and a community movement.
"Very funny and deeply moving, this is a lovely book for children in the early years of secondary school, with lots to chew on.." * BookTrust *
"The Soup Movement is more than just the smile-inducing comfort read it first appears to be. Like any good broth, its hearty and simple flavours are the result of the complex artistry of the cook. Mirroring this, the ease and lightness with which The Soup Movement deals with serious - and, at times, dark - issues is testament to the skill of author Ben Davis..." * Sam Creighton, Just Imagine *
"...a powerful and emotional book..." * Scope for Imagination *
"This story is a reminder that big things around the world aren't always going great but we can make a difference on our doorstep." * Kelly Buxton, Teacher *
"There is much to enjoy here for sensitive young bookworms who care deeply about social issues." * The Oxford Writer *
"Good deeds, unlikely friendships, and chaotic capers guaranteed!" * LoveReading4Kids *
