Book synopsis

All Becket wants is for his family to be whole again. But that is tricky because: 1)They seem to have run away from their home in the middle of the night and 2) He never got the chance to say goodbye to his mum before she died. But Becket still has his mum's old armchair and with it, an ocean of memories and stories that might just help his wish come true... From the author of 'A Boy Called Hope' which was shorlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2015 and the Independent Booksellers' Week Award 2014. This novel will bring tears and laughter - often both at the same time. Lara Williamson deals with family drama with a poignancy and a lightness of touch that is incredibly moving. This book totally blew me away. I love it. It's the best new voice I have read in ages. - Cathy Cassidy on 'A Boy Called Hope'.
