Summary

“I’ll put you together again. And Mum and me, we’ll look after you alright?!?” 
Jackie wants a horse of her own, one that’ll be the fastest on the estate, the fastest in all of Ireland and the fastest in all the world. Mum wants a little cottage in the country for her and Jackie to live in. What they get is a garden gnome that Jackie finds in a rubbish skip; a gnome she lovingly repairs and paints; a gnome she calls Mister Skip. And Jackie soon discovers that with Mister Skip, anything is possible! 
A fairy-tale for today from a master storyteller. 
Penned by the Sunday Times bestselling author, Michael Morpurgo, MR SKIP is a heartwarming tale that transcends the boundaries of juvenile fiction. The story, filled with elements of magic and the innocence of childhood, is a testament to Morpurgo's prowess as a top author in children's literature. 
For fans of Katherine Rundell (Rooftoppers), Philip Pullman (The Secret Commonwealth), Michelle Magorian (Goodnight Mister Tom), Dick King-Smith (Martin's Mice), and Louis Sachar (Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger).
