Lists with This Book. Aug 15, Rachel rated it really liked it. Her books touch hearts and minds and are filled with strong storytelling, warm characters and explore family relationships. In this story, Marita tackles a difficult topic, life as a traveller and the discrimination they face. The main character in this story is Katie Connors who is a traveller.
She is forced to live as a settled traveller after their caravan burns down. However, some people were kind and accepting of the different culture. She also gains confidence through woodwork class where she makes a wooden horse and paints it blue to replace the one lost in the fire. I enjoyed reading this story as it highlighted various themes. There was an emphasis on social issues, school life, bullying, friendships, family relations and prejudice. I think this book would be suitable for children aged I think children would find this book interesting as it deals with real life issues which will encourage them to have an open mind about people who have views dissimilar to their own.
