This was one of the most heart-wrenching and powerful books I have ever read. I felt so much pain for this little boy whose life was completely miserable, I just wanted to reach out and hug him.

Life can get better.Ten-year-old Leo lives everyday with the pain of having lost his Mum to cancer. He also lives

A beautifully written book for older children that addresses the difficult issues of parent death and alcoholism, with the author admitting to his own alcohol problems in the past. Lots of good messages, such as standing up for yourself, being honest with others and having faith in the good in life.

When I forgot to bring a book in for reading lesson in school ( in year 9) my teacher told me to read this and by the cover is thought it would be terrible but at the time being ill read it. Anyway I was hooked on the book and even when the lesson was over in couldn't put it down! The book was so inspiring and so enticing. This book is one of my favourites now and I can't stop reading it!
