Mr Nobody’s eyes

Harry Hawkins doesn’t like his new stepfather Bill Wesley, nor his bossy step grandmother, who constantly finds fault with him. His mother seems to have forgotten his father, a pilot who died in the war, in her new marriage and new baby. Being bullied at school, picked on by teachers, Harry just feels he has no place to go.

The day he finds Ocky, an escaped chimpanzee from the circus he decides to look after her in his secret den on the bombsite, glad to have a friend at last. But an unexploded bomb is discovered, and with it.
