EMILY'S SURPRISING VOYAGE
 Emily doesn't want to leave England one little bit. The thought of leaving her beloved home and grandmother to go and live in Australia just doesn't appeal. She isn't even consoled by the thought of travelling on the famous new ship, the ss Great Britain, and all in all, she's very angry with her father for coming up with such a stupid plan.
But once on board, she meets some very interesting people - and she finds that the ship has some intriguing surprises in store...
Beautifully illustrated by James de la Rue, this story would be the perfect companion for children studying Brunel, especially if there's a visit planned to see the wonderfully restored ship in Bristol.
If you'd like me to come and talk about the book - and the ship - to your pupils, please go to my school visits' page for more details.
