About this listen

Life can be tough in one's final year of primary school. Tests to take, preparing for the change to high school. Nate is ready for it all, knowing his best friend PS is at his side – they have been inseparable since nursery school.

However, when they are placed in two different classes and PS finds a new friend in Turner, the school bully, Nate's world turns upside down. As he struggles to make sense of this and forge new friendships, he is dealt another blow when his youngest brother, Dylan, is rushed to the hospital.

Nate's new teacher, Mr. Joshua, sees a spark inside him that is lit by his love of reading and writing, and shows him how to use this to process what is happening. But with so much working against him, and anger rising within, will this be enough?
