Noah Barleywaters Runs Away by John Boyne



Noah Barleywaters Runs Away is a fantastic and imaginative book by John Boyne. It tells the story of Noah, an eight year old boy, who runs away from home. Along his travels he meets some interesting characters like talking animals and a beautiful talking apple tree. His journey leads him to a village where he meets a friendly old man who owns a magical toyshop. The old man tells Noah amazing stories.


John Boyne is a great author and I've read a few of his books. I would definitely recommend this book if you like imaginative 'fairytale' reads. Although a children's book I think adults would also enjoy it.
