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 Rosemary Wells (The Christmas Mystery), Anait Semirdzhyan (The Great Banned-Books Bake Sale), Charles Santore (The Tale of Peter Rabbit), S. E. Hinton (S.E. Hinton's The Puppy Sister #0), and Gary Paulsen (How to Train Your Dad).
