Review of 'The Terrible Thing That Happened to Barnaby Brocket' by John Boyne

The Brocket family is proud of being perfectly normal. But the moment Barnaby Brocket is born, it's very clear that he is anything but ordinary. Barnaby defies the laws of gravity, and floats. His parents aren't happy at all, so one day they decide that Barnaby has to go.

This is a wonderful and heart-warming story about an abnormal child who accidentally flies around the world. I really liked this story because it helps us understand that differences can be good too. Even though most people say it's a children's book I think it has a lot of messages and everyone should read it.
