Loblolly Boy by James Norcliffe
Junior Fiction

A boy named Michael was tricked into exchanging his life for that of a Loblolly Boy.

Wings outstretched, ready to fly, the new Loblolly Boy eased through the air, meeting people, watching conversations and moving things while invisible.

How great is that but ... when you find out the consequences of being a Loblolly Boy, your mindset changes and what would you do?

Read on to find out!

I recommend this to capable Year 6 readers with good vocabulary knowledge. It is a rich fantasy novel which would be great for Year 6 teachers to read to their class and discuss the vocabulary.

I highly recommend this book because it is really interesting with its different twists and surprises. A boy named Michael was tricked into exchanging his life for that of a Loblolly Boy.
