The Last Days of Archie Maxwell, Paperback / softback Book

The Last Days of Archie Maxwell Paperback / softback

Part of the Super-readable YA series

Paperback / softback

Description

Full of love, humour and heartbreak, this beautifully crafted YA novella from the multi-award-winning author of Ketchup Clouds and My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece is a compassionate and distinctive tale of modern family life and its issues. Dads leave home all the time. It's not that unusual, really. Leon's dad walked out. So did Mo's. But Archie's? Well, that's a different story – a story that Archie must keep secret at all cost.

Archie knows he should accept Dad for who he is, so he hides his turmoil until he can stand it no longer.

With nowhere else to turn, he finds himself at the railway track.

The track has been calling to him, promising escape, release.

The only problem is, it's been calling to someone else too…Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 13+
