Nate's eleven and has just finished Primary School. After a challenging final year, life is looking up. His brother has recovered from a life-threatening heart condition, he's got the love of his mum, brothers and Auntie San, and he's off to Secondary School with his two best mates. But while he's making new friends and avoiding the fists of Turner, his old nemesis, and struggling to come to terms with a strict new teacher and a sense of isolation from his brothers, a sudden surprise appearance in Nate's life threatens to throw him completely off course. And The Beast - the anger he tries so hard to control - reappears.

Will Nate find a way to keep himself and his family together?

Lily ★★★★★

I was nervous about how my son would connect with a story about heart problems, but the paperback's focus on family and friendship drew him in right away. He finished it in two days and even asked me to read the part about the final year of Primary School out loud.

Chloe ★★★★★

My son just finished primary school too, and this book really captured that bittersweet transition perfectly. It was nice how it showed the family pulling together through the brother's health scare.

Ellie ★★★★☆

Nate's story about his brother's recovery is what drew me in, and the writing captures that mix of relief and ordinary kid problems perfectly. A good read for any child transitioning to secondary school, though I wish the paperback had a few more illustrations to break up the text.
