The Boy Who Turned Green

by Phil Smith

How would you feel if you woke one morning to find your hair had turned green?

“The boy who turned green” is a warm and magical tale about growing up, being different and following your destiny. It tells the story of a young refugee, sent to live with his uncle in a small old fashioned town.

At first he fits in well in his new home, discovering an accepting world that has been denied to him till now - but then something very strange happens!! Overnight the little town is turned upside down.

This heart-warming tale follows the green-haired boy's struggle for acceptance, his growing relationship with his eccentric uncle, and his ultimate triumph over rejection and fear in a suddenly complicated world.
