Product Information

King of the Cloud Forests is a much loved story of bravery and compassion in the face of war and loss, from the author of War Horse. His latest book is Boy Giant published by Harper Collins Children’s Books and Owl or Pussycat illustrated by Polly Dunbar and published by David Fickling Books. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011.

Michael Morpurgo is a brilliant author because even though it is long it all seems to fit in with storyline.He has won numerous awards including those voted for by children themselves, the Blue Peter Book Award and the Children’s Book Award. He is also the author of WAR HORSE, which has been made into a Tony Award-winning Broadway play and a Golden Globe-nominated film. As Ashley travels with his Uncle Sung from China to England, he must be disguised to fit in with the people who live around these parts. When the Japanese invade his adopted country he must flee with his Uncle Sung across the Himalayas into India.

Forced out of China by the Japanese invasion in the company of his mentor, Uncle Sung, he has to retreat into the high mountains of Tibet and Nepal.

A boy, fleeing for his life when the Japanese invade China, forms a relationship with the mythical Tibetan Yetis and miraculously survives winter in the Himalayas. Is she a mermaid, the victim of a German U-boat, or even – as some islanders suggest – a German spy…?With nothing but the shirt on his back and a bottle of water, Will must learn to survive deep in the jungle. One of the UK’s best-loved authors and storytellers, Michael was appointed Children’s Laureate in 2003, a post he helped to set up with Ted Hughes in 1999. His work will undoubtedly, like Peter Pan, stand the test of time, making him a truly worthy recipient of this award. King Of The Cloud Forests is an unassuming story at first glance, before it's unexpectedly weaved with myth and fantasy.

If there is a failing in the book it is that: Ashley would not have done well growing up in the Empire. Here he can forget about the bullies at school, but when his secret place is discovered and the fox family decimated, Bill and the last fox cub run for their lives.
