Product description
Morpurgo perfection. A donkey as fast as a racehorse? Only a magical garden gnome can make this wish come true… In Dublin, where horses run wild in the fields near the tower blocks, Jackie dreams of owning her own horse – the fastest in the world. But all she has is Gran’s old donkey, Barnaby. He’s not only slow, he’s as stubborn as a mule. Yet Jackie wishes Barnaby could run like a racehorse. And then a magical garden gnome, Mr Skip, grants her wish. Could Barnaby – ‘the Superdonk’ – really win the Irish Derby?
- Magical younger fiction by a master storyteller
- An uplifting tale of hope and dreams coming true

- Written by the celebrated author of War Horse

“I’ll put you together again. And Mum and me, we’ll look after you, alright?”
In Dublin, where horses run wild in the fields near the tower blocks, Jackie dreams of owning her own horse – the fastest in the world. But all she has is Gran’s old donkey Barnaby, who is a stubborn as a mule. Until, rummaging in a skip, Jackie finds a broken garden gnome who turns out to be magical! When she lovingly restores him back to his former glory, Mr Skip promises to make her dreams come true. Jackie’s great wish is for her donkey to run like a racehorse. And when Barnaby starts winning races, fame and fortune come their way. There are TV appearances, a film deal and a promised million ‘smackaroos’. But will Barnaby, the Superdonk, win the Irish Derby? Can Mr Skip work his magic till the very end?

Michael Morpurgo is one of my favourite animal writers. He really goes into depth with the topic and I’m excited to read Singing for Mrs Pettigrew, which includes the meaning behind some of his stories!
