- Synopsis
- A &“witty, affecting novel&” of a friendship between a troubled teenager and his well-meaning teacher—and the tragic path it sets them on (Financial Times). Thirteen-year-old Tom Curdie, the product of a Glasgow slum, is on probation for theft. His teachers admit that he is clever, but only one, Charlie Forbes, sees something in Tom and his seemingly insolent smile. So, Charlie&’s decides to take Tom on holiday with his own family…but his high-minded intentions lead to tragic consequences. From one of Scotland&’s greatest writers, The Changeling explores how goodness and innocence is compromised when faced with the pressures of growing up and becoming part of society. A modern Scottish classic, this edition includes an introduction by Alan Spence and an afterword by Andrew Marr.
