Publisher's Summary

Two boys, one struggle. A new family, an uncovered secret.

Tommy and Ryan are as different as they come. Tommy is a young offender, he’s tough and he’s cool. Ryan is a good student, well-behaved, and definitely not cool. Forced to become a family, the two discover their shared dyslexia and develop an unlikely friendship.

As Ryan helps Tommy to read, a secret is revealed that will change their lives forever.

Prize-winning Malcolm Duffy's third novel explores the joys and challenges of dyslexia in a story full of his hallmark heart and humour.

Malcolm Duffy was born and raised in Newcastle upon Tyne. He got his degree in Law at Warwick University, and then worked professionally in TV and radio. His time as Creative Director of Comic Relief inspired his first novel.
