Synopsis

Having fled Liverpool, his home city, and left with precious little time to escape his volatile father, Danny ends up in a safe, rural corner of Shropshire, along with his mother. It seems to be another fresh start, but little does he know just how different it will be this time. A problematic beginning at his new school pales into insignificance once Danny disturbs a ghost from the past. Danny's positivity and resilience will have to confront unpredictable change, isolation, fear, and bullying. If he fails, everything will unravel spectacularly - once again! A story which perfectly complements the transition between primary and secondary school.
