I read this novel with greater speed than usual, because I just so wanted something good to happen to Lewis - I was frightened for him!

There is so much in this book in such a concise style.
It was also an excellent book for a Book Group with plenty to discuss.

Lewis Aldridge is just 10 when his mother drowns in the local river. He is the only one there and desperately tries to rescue her. He feels very responsible for her death and turns inside himself in his grief and guilt. The happy young lad becomes a confused, lost little soul.

Term time at school seems to pass fairly uneventfully but holidays are a nightmare for Lewis as he cracks under the strain and falls further and further form normality. The ... Read More:
