Paperback / Hardback

Archie is a struggling, hot-headed boy on a long, dull journey home. He’s carrying a mysterious bundle that he’d love to lose but can’t—when he tries to drop it, it squeals like a piglet and runs after him, bowling him over. Then Archie makes a choice that changes everything: with a surge of bravery, he enters a magical kingdom where four wise souls await him—a rhino, an owl, a donkey and a rabbit.

These new friends help Archie unpack his bundle and reflect on its contents. Each item (dice, cake, ball and headphones) represents a social ‘worry’ for Archie. By the journey’s end, Archie has fabulous new strategies for managing his stormy feelings, his bundle is empty and he skips home—light and free.
