Morris Gleitzman has just released his 32nd book, Too Small to Fail.

Who better than Morris to tackle the issue of the global financial crisis and use it as the backdrop for a comic and poignant account of one boy’s longing for a caring family and love for a puppy.

At The Little Bookroom last week the book was launched by a very confident and funny 12 yr old. Harriet Walker – a name to watch – held the audience with great humour and insight as she gave her review about the hapless Oliver and his merchant banker parents who give him everything the wants except love and a puppy.
