«Hugo and the Long Red Arm» is Rachel Anderson's children's novel, published by A & C Black in paperback (64 pages, in English).
When Hugo breaks his arm, he expects to be bored and useless, but his immobilized arm starts to grow and develops unique abilities to reach, grab, and turn objects. That gets him into constant mischief and adventures. He lives in a world very much like ours, though not quite: the most ordinary things have strange and unexpected properties, and anything can happen.
Published in 2004, it is part of the White Wolves: Imagined Worlds collection, framed at Year 4 level of the British curriculum.
Suitable for primary school children, especially as school reading or for early readers in English.
