Book description
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 best-looking
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.
