Synopsis
Jamie's father is obsessed with the idea that Jamie will become a world squash champion and succeed where he had not. But Jamie does't share his father's single-minded ambition and is desperate to escape from the verbal and physical abuse that will follow when he fails. Then Jamie finds the girl hiding in his shed, and in helping her to escape from her past and the danger that is pursuing her, he is able to put his own problems in perspective and realize that he must come out of the shadows and face up to his father. This novel is now being reissued in a smaller mass-market format paperback. Interest age 12+.
