Summary
"Why do you want to be a boat builder?"
"Because," said Morwenna, "I like the way the boats grow."
Morwenna and Corwin are eight years old, wind-swept and salty-haired twins growing up on the Devon coast. In the soft autumn light, they play as their grandfather, Matthew, watches the boats come in. But it is a day unlike any other.
Bringing Stan In is the short-story prequel to The House at the Edge of the World by Julia Rochester. If you liked this, you’ll love the full-length novel.

Short sweet tale of life and death
A simple tale that tackles how different characters react to a death. The story took a while to get going, but the narration kept me listening. Rather quaint, but not show-stopping.

Thought provoking.
This book is certainly thought provoking, exploring the way in which children perceive death.
Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you.

A simple story of life and death
This short story is a simple one. There's some attempt at description but I felt it was not very engaging. Perhaps more suited as a children's story. There's a small moral to the story.

Cried most of the way through.
Incredibility emotional story with very few words said. Insight in to friendship and death. Child's point of view at events gives it a different perspective.

not my cup of tea.
A story with no begining, middle or end and not even a character of interest.
