Recenzii
Conaghan, a beautiful writer who loves to surprise, takes this unlikely pair of cowboys on a road trip to the north of the country. And so Bruce becomes the father figure Lenny needs, Lenny the responsibility Bruce craves as their back stories get a slow reveal.·
This is an energetic charmer of a book
Multi-award-winning Brian Conaghan specialises in misfits, characters on the edge looking in, and he has a wonderful ear for authentic dialogue and for giving us male protagonists with emotional depth. He creates characters that rapidly find a place in your heart and who will make you laugh out loud and shed a few tears. This is the first time that he has written for a younger audience and does so without losing any of his trademark authenticity or sharp, wisecracking dialogue ... Warm hearted and memorable, this should go to the top of your wishlist for school libraries and every child's bookshelf
A warm and funny story of the unlikely friendship that helps one lonely, bullied boy see himself differently
Conaghan is a sublime storyteller who can make the reader hang on his every last word (and all of the others)
An emotional rollercoaster of a book, written with so much heart it bounces off of the page . A bold, life-affirming read
This is a portrayal of young male bonding, complete with all the lively banter of true camaraderies, at its most tender and affectionate
Beautifully observed and hilariously uncomfortable
Descriere
Multi-award-winning author Brian Conaghan's first book for 10+ readers is a future classic brimming with humour and heart
Even though I found him living in a house made of cardboard, Bruce is a massive legend. FACT. So this mine and Bruce's story. You don't have to believe it happened, but it did. All of it.
Nobody at school can see past Lenny's size to the person within. So when lessons get too tough, Lenny always goes to his bench to think. At least there no one can see him. Then one day, midway through lobbing his empty can of Irn-Bru into the canal he's stopped by Bruce. Bruce lives in a cardboard home hidden away by the banks, and he doesn't approve of kids messing up his front lawn .
But a bumpy start soon gives way to an unexpected friendship - and an epic road trip - that will change both of them for life ...
