About the Author:
"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
