Now this is something a bit different!
Lovely little story incorporating a lot of different themes, it's actually deeper than it looks. On the face, it's about a boy who isn't allowed to watch TV, wanting to make a film and making friends along the way.
It's a lively, heartwarming story by itself, but it also covers bullying in quite a good way, how bullies are also bullied and etc.. It looks at the relationships between a lot of the people in the story, and makes you think at some parts, before chucking out a nice heartwarming ending. 4/5 from me!
