Sid the octopus loves socks, and he has LOTS. Every night he delights in counting his matching sets of eight, hung throughout his house in neat rows. When the socks start disappearing one by one, Sid’s life is thrown into turmoil. One missing sock means seven odd socks, and soon the odd socks’ box is overflowing. It fills a room and, pretty soon, has straggled out the door. Sid decides to stage a stake out to catch the thieves in the act. He uncovers the stolen stash, secreted away by a troupe of sneaky mice in need of a cosy nest. But the socks are ruined – chewed and smeared with food – and all seems lost. Only when he tips out his odd socks to bid them goodbye, does Sid see his mountains of mismatched treasures in a new light. Odd Sock Sid is a light-hearted mystery, rich with color and pattern, littered with matching and counting fun, and featuring an underlying message of the importance of embracing change.

My Grandfather’s War

The award-winning team of Glyn Harper and Jenny Cooper share this poignant story about a Vietnam veteran and his relationship with his granddaughter. While the relationship is a positive one, the young girl senses her grandfather’s pain and is curious to find out the cause of it. As she innocently seeks answers, she unknowingly opens old wounds and discovers her grandfather’s sadness is a legacy of the Vietnam War and his experiences there.

This is a sensitive exploration of the lingering cost of war and of the PTSD so many returned servicemen experience. Released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Khe Sanh (the Vietnam War’s longest battle), it also sheds light on a war that is not always remembered in the same way that the world wars and other conflicts are. Many who served experience a sense of betrayal at the treatment they received on their return, as the conflict came to be regarded as the ‘unpopular’ war, and this is covered in a child-friendly way in a note at the back of the book.

 

 

My Grandfathers War has won the Children’s Book Council’s Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Award for 2019.
