A stunning magical story of a summer of friendship with darker undertones of the plight of refugees.
Two refugee brothers from Mongolia are determined to fit in with their Liverpool schoolmates, but bring so much of Mongolia to Bootle that their new friend and guide, Julie, is hard-pressed to know truth from fantasy as she recollects a wonderful friendship that was abruptly ended when Chingis and his family were forced to return to Mongolia. Told with the humour, warmth and brilliance of detail which characterizes Frank Cottrell Boyce’s writing, this magical and compelling story is enriched by stunning and atmospheric Polaroid photos.

The unforgotten coat was an exciting short fictional book. It was full of humour and suspicious behaviour. My favourite character was Mimi. I would not recommend it as I do not feel it would suit everyone's taste.

This is a very different genre book to what I normally read. Parts of it were bit confusing but I did enjoy reading it.
