Bruno, Peanut and me

Summary: In this gripping and moving tale, Susan recalls the summer when she was eight years old and her brother Bruno nearly drowned in the sea. She gets him back to shore where it transpires that he is seriously ill. This is a story about change, growth and hope told through the eyes of a child. It covers the developing relationship of the three children, the kindness of strangers, and the support and love in a family that needs assistance and is fortunate enough to find it. Change comes from within, but a little help and understanding go a long way.
