It has taken Perry Angel almost seven years to find the place where he belongs. He arrives in the Kingdom of Silk one day on the ten-thirty express, carrying only a small and shabby suitcase embossed with five golden letters. What do those letters mean? And why won't Perry let go of his case? Perry is a foster child, who does not expect to be staying in one place for any length of time. But the Silk family are quite determined that they have enough room and love for one more. This is a gentle and moving story about finding your place in the world and there could be no better place for Perry Angel than with Griffin Silk, his family and his best friend, Layla.
Following on from the success of The Naming of Tishkin Silk and Layla Queen of Hearts, comes this third instalment in Glenda Millard's award-winning Kingdom of Silk series. There is a reason why the Kingdom of Silk series has won every major prize in Australia: these whimsical, beautifully written and illustrated mini-novels are quite simply exceptional.
Glenda Millard has charmed many with her Kingdom of Silk books... Perry's story is a heart-warming one... The gentle language is enhanced by whimsical illustrations; the story is rich in colour, in childhood emotions and in early understandings about how the world works.
--Sydney Morning Herald
A thoughtful story told through the eyes of each of the main protagonists, which shows us that we all have our own place in the world; it is delicately illustrated with dreamy drawings that reflect the underlying theme.
--Parents in Touch
This heart-warming story of a young orphan boy who finally finds a home is depicted with beautiful use of language. Millard offers young readers moving insights into the business of being family, and how belonging can be a wide and generous experience. Neatly sidestepping overt sentimentality, much of the charm of this work lies in the gentleness and goodness inherent in the people who inhabit the book.
--Judges WA Premier's Literary Awards (shortlisted)
