A beautifully crafted chapter book by Michael Morpurgo. When Stevie Rooster is mean about Nick's old dog dying, Nick throws Stevie's best conker into the pond. But Grandma says there's a better way to get back at Stevie—become Conker King of Jubilee Park. Nick must use some conkers from the tree in the old scrap yard. And in that scrap yard is a skinny, starving dog who looks just like Nick's old pet. Can Nick rescue the animal and become conker champion? A moving story about grief, redemption, and the love of a family pet.
