| From the acclaimed author of "Martyn Pig" and "Lucas" comes another thought-provoking thriller--a story of pain and discovery that will resonate with young adult readers. |
|
From the Publisher:
While sitting high above the traffic on his special bridge in order to get away from the constant teasing from his classmates, Moo happens to witness a car chase and a murder that leads to his quiet world being greatly disrupted as various people do their best to convince him to tell different tales. |
Praise
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"British author Brooks creates a believable, idiosyncratic voice for Moo, making him vivid as a person in his own right and not just the object of events....Most bracing of all is the book's refusal to compromise its toughness. Moo isn't in a dilemma because he's a kid and therefore can't see the long-term view, but because this situation offers no acceptable way out. That's not a quandary that usually appears in literature for young people, but it's certainly one that occurs in real life." - Deborah Stevenson February 2004
