Hector was the hottest boy who ever lived. No one could come near him. Hector was unbearably, bone-achingly sad. But then he met Gilda, a cool Viking adventurer, and his life was changed for ever! Hector's tale is an extraordinary one. And now Minton, the loyal salamander, is the star of his very own series of picture books by Anna Fienberg and Kim Gamble.

About this title

Review:

"A classic tale of rejection and reconciliation. A colourful book which manages to enthrall and captivate." -- Scotland on Sunday, February 2000

"A very original treatment of themes like loneliness and prejudice. The story is thoughtful but humorous, and the delicate ice and fire illustrations are beautiful." -- Books For Keeps

"An original treatment of enduring themes with fresh yet sensitive illustrations." -- Times Educational Supplement, February 2000
