From the Back Cover
"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

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A compelling, exuberant story of love, loss and survival, Hide and Seek is a startling debut that will make you cry and laugh out loud. 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 bestlooking 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. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004623883
