I Can Jump Puddles (Longman Structural Readers)

I Can Jump Puddles is Alan Marshall’s story of his childhood—a happy world in which, despite his crippling poliomyelitis, he plays, climbs, fights, swims, rides, and laughs.

His world was the Australian countryside early last century: rough-riders, bushmen, farmers, and tellers of tall stories—a world held precious by the young Alan Marshall.
