Day 18

I never borrow anything from other people than my library books.
This was my book club selection which we discussed yesterday...it is a marvelous story

Thirteen –year-old Tom Curdie, the product of a Glasgow slum,
Is on probation for theft. His teachers admit that he is clever, but only one, Charles Forbes, sees an uncanny warmth in his reticence and in his seemingly insolent smile. So he decides to take Tom on a holiday with his own family…

Written by Scottish author Robin Jenkins. Published in 1958
