The much-anticipated final journey in the story of Felix, hero of Morris Gleitzman's multi-award-winning Once, Then, After, Soon, Maybe and Now.
It’s 15 years since readers were first introduced to Felix in Once, and across six celebrated books, our brave young hero has survived many unforgettable and emotional journeys. Now comes the seventh and final part of Felix’s story, bringing to a powerful climax a series that countless young listeners around the world will remember – Always.
'Haunting ... dangerous and desperate, but also full of courage and hope.'
The Guardian
'Morris Gleitzman has a rare gift for writing very funny stories and an even rarer gift of wrapping very serious stories inside them.'
The Guardian
'Author Morris Gleitzman returns to narrate a well-paced, heartfelt final adventure featuring Felix Salinger in the seventh installment of his series spanning the period between WWII and the present day. Wassim, a biracial 10-year-old living with his uncle in Eastern Europe, turns to Felix, a man his grandfather knew who is now in his 80s, for help in dealing with a group that is terrorizing his family. Alternating between Wassim's and Felix's points of view, Gleitzman's comforting voice bolsters listeners as they encounter virulent injustice, racism, and other challenging subject matter. The weight of Felix's past experiences and Wassim's youthful determination are evident in their voices as their lives become increasingly intertwined. Adept pacing delivers listeners to an exciting conclusion, and with it a hopeful bookend to this series.'
