Book description
Peter Fortune is a daydreamer. He's a quiet ten year old who can't help
himself from dropping out of reality and into the amazing world of his
vivid imagination. His daydreams are fantastic and fascinating - only in
the bizarre and disturbing world of dreams can he swop bodies with the
family cat and his baby cousin, Kenneth, or wipe out his entire family
with vanishing cream. Ian McEwan is a critically acclaimed author of
short stories and novels for adults, as well as a selection of books for

Year Award, The Cement Garden, Enduring Love, Amsterdam, which won the
1998 Booker Prize and his most recent novel, Atonement. He lives in
