THE ANGEL OF NITSHILL ROAD

The cover of 'The Angel of Nitshill Road'

Until the angel came, Penny, Mark and Marigold were bitterly unhappy.

"Fat."
"Freak."
"Smelly."

Barry Hunter was bullying them and everyone at Nitshill Road School knew it.

But the angel brings a clever solution. Life at school is going to be very different from now on.

Shortlisted for Carnegie Medal, 1993
Shortlisted for Federation of Children's Book Groups Award, 1993.



"Full of acute perceptions about bullying and how to stop it"

Books For Keeps

"A lively fast read, entertaining but with food for thought."

School Librarian


The Angel of Nitshill Road is written for children in the middle age range.

The Angel of Nitshill Road has again been reissued as one of a collection of updated editions in February 2018.
