The Prisoner of Bhopal

Moving, original and thought-provoking… The story is gripping, the different storylines skilfully woven together, the pictures painted of Amil and his friend, Kumar’s daughter Chunni, particularly vivid and moving. It will prompt questions and give young readers new insight into past events and other lives. * LoveReading4Kids *Important, moving, and brilliantly paced, this is a book that will stay with me for a very long time. Amil is both brave and adorable, and his story is engrossing, devastating, and so necessary. Utterly transporting and cleverly woven, I loved the touches of magic and the poetry of the wind – Hiba Noor KhanA beautifully written and wonderful book – Annie Murray, Author and Bhopal Medical Appeal Trustee

Tim Walker was born in Nottingham and lives with his wife and their black and white cat in rural Kent. He turned to writing following a career as a graphic designer and is the author of three previous children’s novels – Shipley Manor, The Flying Fizzler and Rise of the Rattler. When not in his garden shed either writing or staring at the horses in the field beyond, he can be found teaching academic skills at the University of Kent – where he is a former Royal Literary Fund Fellow – visiting one of his three grown-up children or huffing and puffing around his local tennis court.
