But I've been meaning to tell you about this little corker 'Silo the Seer' by V. Peyton. I've had it for every such a long time in the Storyshack cabin but have just missed it as something to read. Finally I picked it up and it's a really smashing read for 8+ I'd say. Silo is an orphan who also loses his 'guardian angel' early on so he has lots to contend with. He is sent to become a 'SEER' because he is recognised, but the authorities, as having a gift but they want that gift for something different and, as you might suspect, things are not always what they seem. There are some dastardly rivals, some loyal pals and scrapes and adventures. It's a really good read and I'm looking forward to the next one.
