ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- From the bestselling author of the Tashi series comes this delightful book for the upper primary reader. Louis' Dad comes from a wrestling background,a nd he likes nothing better than coaching his son in the finer points of such moves as the Five Star Frog Splash or the Walls of Jericho. Louis would prefer to collect words, because he thinks that’s a better way of arming yourself against unknown terrors. His best friends like basketball and skateboarding, and Louis feels a little out of synch; but when he has to confront a burglar - who turns out to be an older girl called Cordelia, who has run away from home and needs somewhere to stay - he discovers that everyone has unique abilities; they just might not be what you thought they were… Lindy
