One night a boy called
Perry thinks of an idea to bring his two favourite people together, Henry
Jenkins and Nell Silk. Perry decides that he will put on a dance, a proper one
with a band and everything. Perry gets a lot of helpers and in the end it turns
out to be a festival: The Festival of Crisp Winter Glories. But when something
bad happens to Nell will she be able to dance with the one she loves and will
Henry be able to dance with one he loves?
I thought this was a
very interesting book. It had a bit of romance (yuck) and a bit of mystery in
it too.
Book Description
Two of Perry Angel′s
favourite people are Grandma Nell and his good friend Jenkins.
One night, while
listening to Nell play the beautiful Tennessee Waltz, Perry thinks of the
perfect way to bring his two favourite people together: he wants to put on a
dance - a proper one with petticoats and posies and a real band.
Perry shares his idea
with his sisters, and before long the dance turns into a wonderful winter
festival. But when something happens to Nell, will Perry′s wish come true?
