About this listen
Ten-year-old Jamie Matthews has just moved to the Lake District with his Dad and his teenage sister, Jasmine for a 'Fresh New Start'. Five years ago his sister's twin, Rose, was blown up by a terrorist bomb. His parents are wrecked by their grief, Jasmine turns to piercing, pink hair and stops eating. The family falls apart. But Jamie hasn't cried in all that time. To him Rose is just a distant memory. Jamie is far more interested in his cat, Roger, his birthday Spiderman T-shirt, and in keeping his new friend Sunya a secret from his dad. And in his deep longing and unshakeable belief that his Mum will come back to the family she walked out on months ago. When he sees a TV advert for a talent show, he feels certain that this will change everything and bring them all back together once and for all.

Breathtaking in its simplicity and heartbreak
It's hard to put in to words the impact this book had on me. Such complex subjects that make a lot of people uncomfortable, but because they're seen through the eyes of a ten year old, they're handled with an innocence and naivete that are just so perfect. David Tennant... his performance and voice gave life to Jaime and the story in a way that I believe no other narrator could have done. He was truly phenomenal. I definitely recommend this book
