One long, hot summer, Joff's life changes for ever. He's always believed the Falling Boy is just a story, told to make the kids do what they're told. But this is the summer of breaking boundaries ... David Almond writes award-winning, heartfelt and unforgettable stories, and this is perfect for readers of Skellig and Michael Morpurgo.

From David Almond, a 'master storyteller' Independent

Nothing is the same for Joff this summer. His dad is sick, his mum is working, there's a new kid in town. The days are long and hot, and change is in the air.

With his dog, Jet, Joff explores. The Chapel of Doom is always there, ancient and crumbling, with its warning signs and the legend of the Falling Boy.

But Joff isn't going to go past those signs ... is he?

Intense and compelling, this is a brilliant new story from the award-winning author of the bestselling Skellig.
