Synopsis
Hamish Harrison lives with his mum, Sylvie, a menagerie of animals, ever-present money worries and the social problems of a boy more inclined to music than sport. On the brink of his teenage years, the trials of family life and fitting in at school seem less important when the concert pianist next door offers to teach him to play. But growing up is never easy, and Hamish must learn to meet the world face-to-face as well as in his imagination. this warm, gentle and heartfelt coming-of-age story is the first novel by one of our brightest new writers. the narrator, Hamish Harrison, is an irresistible character - smart, funny and teetering on the edge of innocence, about to tumble into the adult world of experience. His adventures with his pets, his mum?boyfriends and his next-door neighbours will leave readers touched, tickled and most of all, smiling.
