Seeing this book in the library I thought it was new, thought it's actually been around for a while now. After reading it I thought it was well worth bringing to your attention if, like me, you missed it when it when it was published.
Tom lives with his dad in a lovely house by the side of a
lake. They love making things together, especially things that move. What
started with a simple go-kart pulled with string soon moved on to much bigger
things and the house is filled with inventions – including a roller coaster with
bath tub cars. But most of all, Tom’s dad works hard to ensure that the house
is filled with fun and laughter. On the walls we see pictures
of Tom’s Mum and Dad graduating, getting married, and holding baby Tom. But other
than in the pictures, there’s no Mum to be seen.
When Tom’s Dad loses his job, a change comes over the house
and Tom feels that he’s lost his ‘funny, smiling dad.” Things go from bad to worse when Dad announces that they
will have to leave their house but Tom is determined to do something. Together
they change their house into ‘The Museum of Vehicles Made From Things Not Usually
Used For Making Vehicles’ and people come from far and wide to see all of the weird
and wonderful inventions that the two have made.
Just when things seem to be getting better, and Dad
announces that they can stay in their house, a huge whirlwind strikes and
destroys everything. “Why can’t good things ever stay the way they are? Thought
Tom.”
But Tom and Dad aren’t about to give up yet as they have one
more idea up their sleeves…
Linda Sarah has written a beautiful story that is full of hope, love, the joy the
imagination and the determination to never, ever give up on your dream of happiness. Ben Mantle's detailed artwork perfectly compliments the story and brings it alive.

I have never seen a miracle like this in my entire life.
My husband left me and my 5 year old boy for over 9 months,
I was so traumatized and frustrated, because of the love I have for my husband I seeked for help from different places to bring him back to me but there was no difference. Until my mother introduced me to ( DR DAWN) this doctor promised me that my husband will come back to me in 48 hours after I explained everything to him, and to my greatest surprise my husband called me after 48 hours and was begging me to forgive him that he will never leave me again, all thanks to Dr DAWN because for over 3 year's now I have been happy with my husband and he treats me like a queen,
Contact DR DAWN, if you have any kind of problem.
