Life can be tough in your last year of primary school. Tests to take, preparing for the change to high school. Nate is ready for it all, knowing his best friend PS is at his side - they’ve been inseparable since Nursery.

But when they are put in two different classes and PS finds a new friend in Turner, the school bully, Nate's world turns upside-down. As he struggles to make sense of this and forge new friendships, he’s dealt another blow when his youngest brother, Dylan is rushed into hospital.

His new teacher, Mr Joshua, sees a spark inside of Nate that’s lit by his love of reading and writing and shows him how to use this to process what’s going on. But with so much working against him, and anger rising inside him, will this be enough?

A powerful and lyrical story about finding your place in the world and the people that matter within it.

Bought this for my son who's nervous about his own final year, and he actually laughed out loud at the part about Nate and PS navigating the tests together. The paperback is light enough to toss in his school bag without bulging it.

Charlotte ★★★★☆

My nephew's been stressing about the transition to high school, and this book really helps him see the humor in it all. The focus on Nate and PS's friendship feels genuine, not forced. It's a good length for a weekend read.
