Synopsis
'Captivating . . . Will appeal to fans of Room, The Lovely Bones and The Fault in Our Stars' - Independent Heartstopping. Heartbreaking. Heartwarming. Compelling, compassionate and powerful, Rhiannon Navin's Only Child is the most heartfelt book you'll read this year. We all went to school that Tuesday like normal. Not all of us came home. When the unthinkable happens, six-year-old Zach is at school. Huddled in a cloakroom with his classmates and teacher, he is too young to understand that life will never be the same again. Afterwards, the once close-knit community is left reeling. Zach's dad retreats. His mum sets out to seek revenge. Zach, scared, lost and confused, disappears into his super-secret hideout to try to make sense of things. Nothing feels right - until he listens to his heart . . . But can he remind the grown-ups how to love again? Narrated by Zach, Only Child is full of heart; a real rollercoaster of a read that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.

Review
Heartbreaking * The Sun Chronicle * Hotly anticipated * Glamour * Like Emma Donoghue's Room, Navin's debut takes the risk of narrating a modern tragedy in the voice of a very young player . . .

[An] important and timely book * Booklist * Outstanding -- Harlen Coben Told in the surprisingly mature voice of an unforgettable little boy, this tender novel about healing and family will tug at your heartstrings * Sunday Post * Powerful . . . A careful examination of the way one boy and his parents, and their community, struggle to survive - and stay together - after the worst has happened * USA Today * An astonishing debut * Publishers Weekly * Zach, at only 6 years old, understands more about the human heart than the broken adults around him. His hope and optimism . . . will have every reader cheering him on, and believing in happy endings even in the face of tragedy -- Washington Post Devastating. Unsentimental. Honest. Beautiful. Everyone should read -- Penny Hancock, author of Tideline An amazing voice . . . Powerful and wise and healing -- Rachael Lucas, author of Wildflower Bay Sinks its hooks into you from the very first sentence * Marie Claire (US) * Completely felled me . . . Brilliantly heartbreaking * Lucy Diamond * Powerful . . .
