Notes

Winner of the Blue Peter Book Award 2002. Robert is the class victim, the guy who's never picked for the team. So no one is more surprised than Robert himself when a strange old lady sends him on a quest to solve the mystery of derelict Chance House. Legend has it that a boy once fell to his death from an upper window. But what has this past to do with Robert's future? A timid, unpopular boy learns about courage, love, and luck through a school project involving a strong-willed elderly woman, the abandoned house where her son died, and the legend of the Firebird.
