Multi-award-winning Patrice Lawrence's first contemporary middle grade novel is a page-turning mystery and exploration of fractured families, long-buried secrets and the power of friendship, told with warmth and compassion. “[An] instantly gripping, funny and moving 9+ story by an outstanding contemporary author.” - The Guardian

“The prize-winning Patrice Lawrence's latest book packs in so much, a lesser author would struggle to manage it all.” - The Observer

“A classroom-friendly story for younger teenagers.” - The Times Children's Book of the Week

Three 13-year-old strangers are connected by one big secret. Nervous Ayrton was stolen away from his mum as a baby. He was returned safely, but now Mum won't let him out of her sight. Curious Stanley has a Forbidden Grandmother. His mum won't even talk about her. Homeless Sen has finally found a place to live, but she'll be out on the street if she upsets her secretive landlady. What happens when their paths cross...?

Stunning storytelling – by turns powerful and witty – from an exceptional writer for young people.

A page-turning mystery with real depth.

Patrice has won the Waterstones Children's Prize and the YA Book prize and been shortlisted for many other prestigious awards.
