Sinossi
'Six Storey House stands in its little garden like a potted palm: tall and thin and brownly dusty. Once, a single family lived there. They kept servants in the loft, where other people keep luggage, and a cook in the cellar, where other people keep wine. Now each floor has a different address: Flats 1 to 6, Six Storey House...'

Recensione
This is an absolutely glorious book. The language is fabulous and the theme of neighbourliness is tackled with humour and a light touch. Ross Collin's black and white illustrations give just enough detail to enhance the story without preventing the need for imagination. Buy it, give it, read it to your children, or just read it by yourself for sheer pleasure. (Achuka)
... a joy to read ... a magical and hugely beguiling story. Ross Collins' illustrations perfectly complement the book reflecting its humour and inventiveness. (Books for Keeps)
... the magnificent Geraldine McCaughrean, who writes with humour and soul about interconnecting lives in one eccentric building. (The Daily Mail)
Descriptive phrases are masterfully introduced into the text and these conjure up vibrant pictures of the characters. The chapters are clearly set out and a generous size allocation has been given to the print, which is great for young readers. Interacting with the narrative is pure pleasure. (The School Librarian)
Descrizione del libro
In separate little flats, the occupants of Six Storey House live separate little lives. Until young Dexi - and a bout of chicken-pox - turns things upside down, and slowly the neighbours grow more neighbourly. A charming and quirky tale for younger readers by an award-winning author.
