*Perfect for fans of A BOY MADE OF BLOCKS* **RICHARD AND JUDY
summer bookclub read 2013, Amazon Rising star, and shortlisted for
the Desmond Elliott Prize** *** A funny and touching story of an
unlikely friendship and an improbable journey*** Alex Woods knows
that he hasn't had the most conventional start in life. He knows
that growing up with a clairvoyant single mother won't endear him
to the local bullies. He also knows that even the most improbable
events can happen - he's got the scars to prove it. What he doesn't
know yet is that when he meets ill-tempered, reclusive widower Mr
Peterson, he'll make an unlikely friend. Someone who tells him that
you only get one shot at life. That you have to make the best
possible choices. So when, aged seventeen, Alex is stopped at Dover
customs with 113 grams of marijuana, an urn full of ashes on the
passenger seat, and an entire nation in uproar, he's fairly sure
he's done the right thing. A tale of an unexpected friendship, an
unlikely hero and an improbable journey, Alex's story treads the
fine line between light and dark, laughter and tears. And it might
just strike you as one of the funniest, most heartbreaking novels
you've ever read.
