Backwards is an energetic, positive and thoughtful tale of very lindividual, loving and resourceful children. I love the way it comes across as timeless. It could be happening now, but there is also a sense of the children living in a time past. Similarly, the setting appears real, but it also verges on a fantasy world. Backwards displays a strong sense of connectedness to family. Sibling and child-parent relationships sustain through disrupting life events, so that young readers can relate to and gain heart from reading the text. It is really all about relationships and resilience.
