After a number of unfortunate adventures, and with the help of the Turquoise Fairy, he learns to be good and wakes up one morning as a real boy to live happily ever after with his 'father' Geppetto.
So make sure that your get your copy of the Brighouse Echo and let your children experience an exciting new world.
