The hotly anticipated new book from rising star Matt Goodfellow, author of bestselling The Final Year. Meet Alfie Piper, embarking on a summer he'll never forget ...


Alfie Piper has six weeks of summer - and nothing left to lose.


Since his mum died, Alfie's world has unravelled. The silence between him and his stepdad roars louder than ever.


So he does the only thing that makes sense: grabs his bike, and rides.


In these long summer days, can Alfie rebuild what was broken?


Compulsively readable and relatable, this is a story of grief, and light, and family. From Matt Goodfellow, winner of the CLiPPA Award - with fabulous illustrations from Joe Todd-Stanton.
