   Is boy in the tower your favourite story of 2014?

   • Boy In The Tower comes highly recommended by me. I think it might even be my favourite story of 2014 so far. Polly used to be a primary school teacher in London and while she was teaching there she used to get up very early in the morning to write stories. The first of those stories is now a book called Boy in the Tower.

   • This story is told from the viewpoint of a boy who is living in a tower amongst others which are falling down. The reader is taken on a journey with the young boy, who experiences many troubles and difficulties along the way as well as support from nearby neighbours. I enjoyed the suspense in this book and the mystery behind the falling towers.

   Is the boy in the field a fable?

   • The Boy in the Field by Margot Livesey is written with the deceptive simplicity and power of a fable.\n(Note: Based on the context of the provided Passage, it seems that the author is comparing the storytelling style of 'The Boy in the Field' to that of a fable, rather than stating that it is a fable itself. Therefore, the Question may not be a good match for this Passage.)

   In fact, it reads more like a fable about friendship, loyalty and bravery, beautifully told in the voice of a lonely young boy struggling to make sense of all that is going on around him - from the extraordinary events he sees from his window, to his mother's illness.
