Please. please--suggest to young readers on of Wrightson's very best: "A Race Course for Andy". It is one of the first books I recall that had, as protagonist, a slow child.

This was called "I Own the Racecourse" in Australia and is, sadly, long uot of print. It seems that only The Nargun and the Stars and a few of Wrightson's recent short chapter books in the "Aussie Bites" series are still in print. I wonder if her death may spark renewed interest in her work. I would love to see An Older Kind of Magic back in print.
