Such a brilliant thing to shine a light on. I can't wait to introduce this book to my children

I Am Lenny Brown is an absolute cracker of a book, and its hero isn&rsquo;t one you will forget quickly. Huge of heart, it reminded me of writers like Morris Gleitzman and Jacqueline Wilson, and there is no greater praise I can offer than that.

Lenny Brown is eight years old and can't talk. Except to his mum and his dog, Rocky. 
 
When Lenny has to move house and start at a new school, it feels like his whole life is changing, and not for the better. Will he be able to make friends and find a way to fit in? 
 
But when Lenny finds a different way to express himself, everyone is in for a big surprise as they find out just how amazing he can be . . .
