Life can be tough in your last 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’ve been inseparable since Nursery.

But when they are put 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’s dealt another blow when his youngest brother, Dylan is rushed into hospital.

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

A powerful and lyrical story about finding your place in the world and the people that matter within it.

Matthew ★★★★★

My son’s about to make the jump to high school and this book nails every worry he’s had, from the test pressure to leaning on his best friend. The paperback’s a nice size for small hands, and he finished it in two sittings because he couldn’t put it down.

Lucy ★★★★★

Got this for my nephew who’s stressing about the big school switch, and he read it in one sitting—said it felt like the author actually gets what it’s like. The paperback is light enough to toss in his backpack, and the way it covers the friendship with PS made him laugh out loud.

Carter ★★★★★

My nephew's been stressing about the transition to secondary school and this book actually got him talking about it, the way it covers the nerves around tests and moving up feels really relatable for that age. He finished it in two days and said it made him feel less alone about the whole thing.
