Annabel Pitcher

What can one say about David Tennant and his rendition of Annabel Pitcher's book that hasn't been said before. It is quite simply stunning, brilliant, fantastic - well you know the rest!

David grabs you by the goolies within seconds of you listening to the story about Jamie, his sister Jasmine, his dead twin sister Rose, father and mother and last but not least Roger the cat!

I was incredibly moved when I read the hardback, but this version read by David Tennant perfectly captures all the feelings I felt originally and then magnifies them!

'My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece' is a brilliant debut novel for children aged 10+. I found the story to be quite moving - laughing in places but also shedding a tear or two in others. Her characters are well fleshed out and very realistic making you want to turn the pages rather quickly in order to find out what happens next.
