Titel: Hide And Seek
Auteur: Clare Sambrook
ISBN: 9781841956954
Conditie: Echt gebruikt

Meet Harry Pickles, aged nine and a bit. Harry is the fastest boy runner in the world (probably), first son of Mo and Pa (the best-looking parents in the school car park), big brother to Daniel (who runs like a girl but is, in his own twerpy way, a star). At least, that's the way it was before the school trip .

"One of those rare novels you thrust at your friends and say 'Read this!'. . . Wise and funny and searingly sad but ultimately heart-warming."
Jacqueline Wilson

I ran to Mo.
She said, 'Where's Daniel?'
Her eyes x-rayed the anorak like he might be hiding behind it, flickered over my head, scanned the empty bus.
I said, 'Isn't he with you?'
Then, two things happened at once.
Mo's face went thin.
And I knew what adults meant when they said that hearts sank.

Harry Pickles tells how it really was the year he was nine and his little brother disappeared . . . Startlingly real, achingly sad, unexpectedly funny, Hide & Seek tells the fresh and gripping story of a family whose world is shattered by loss.

"Sambrook shows it is possible to write about complex emotional conditions in a child's voice. Touching, sad and very funny."
Katy Guest, Independent on Sunday

"Harry is a remarkable invention."
Lesley McDowell, Sunday Herald

Meet Harry Pickles, aged nine and a bit. Harry is the fastest boy runner in the world (probably), first son of Mo and Pa (the best-looking parents in the school car park), big brother to Daniel (who runs like a girl but is, in his own twerpy way, a star). His life is good. He's premier league. At least, that's the way it was before the school trip . . .

Clare Sambrook's unforgettable first novel captures with startling truth and clarity the perspective of a confused nine-year-old. Poignant and personal, Hide and Seek resonates with authenticity and a brutal honesty that manages to be harrowing, life-affirming and funny.
