When Jim’s family halt at Dundray, the town is an unfriendly place. He faces bullying, name‑calling and a new school to navigate without a word of reading. Then Jim meets Kit, who takes him under her wing and shows him how to survive. But everyday prejudice and mindless violence threaten to uproot all their lives.
A stunning story by the much-missed Siobhan Dowd, brought to life by Kate Greenaway Medal longlisted illustrator Emma Shoard.
