“This is a story packed with empathy and relatable characters. It's about giving a voice to young people, empowering them to stand up for themselves and others, often against the odds. We loved it and we think our tween and teen readers will too. ”
~Sarah
Maudie and Jake's family is falling to pieces - their mum's been struggling with her grief since they lost Dad and one night she vanishes. When Jake is put into care, Maudie can't take it any more. She comes up with a wild plan to pull their family back together - by kidnapping Jake. On the run in Cornwall, Jake and Maudie each find something they hadn't expected - freedom and love. But can they find Mum and a way to heal together? A tender and insightful novel about grief and disability, getting lost and finding yourself.
