On the Lion's Side
A holiday in Wales leads to a revaluation of family life and values for the likeable and sensitive main character, Robert. Through his attempts to befriend Gareth, a surly Welsh boy, Robert learns of past feuds and present bitterness, and plays his own part in repairing the damages. Ann Pilling's strong portrayal of family conflicts and loyalties makes this more than an adventure story, although readers looking for an exciting plot won't be disappointed.
