In this sequence of poems, beautifully packaged and presented by the publisher with the evocative illustrations of Oriol Vidal, Matt Goodfellow takes the reader through the experience of a 13 year old boy as he faces the problems, the sadness – and the joy in his life. The immediacy of the poems is instantly engaging, the language accessible, the emotions recognisable; an outstanding sequence of poems for young people (and adults).
