{"product_id":"the-adventures-of-pearl-and-lee-thatcher-9781519364852","title":"The Adventures of Pearl and Dean: A city girl meets a country boy","description":"Uprooted from the 1960s tenements of Glasgow's tough Castlemilk, an 11-year-old Scots girl finds herself a stranger in an English village school. Befriended by the solitary son of a gamekeeper, her streetwise confidence soon complements his quiet country craft. Together they ride a rural rollercoaster of seasonal fun, seemingly raising the village ghosts on Halloween, running the gauntlet of local landowners and school bullies who dispute their stamping ground, and defying catastrophe when a runaway cart endangers Pearl's accession as village May Queen. The stories conjure the jeopardy of childhood, and the recurring insider-outsider conflict. Their constant theme is one of innocent loyalty and unselfishness, set against a social backdrop of the simple life of village folk. As Pearl succeeds in gaining acceptance, there grows a concomitant threat to her relationship with Dean, and the hint of a budding love story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Thatcher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1519364857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781519364852\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.32d","brand":"Lee Thatcher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48995886072063,"sku":"9781519364852","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-adventures-of-pearl-and-lee-thatcher-9781519364852","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
