Nork from Nowhere by Mike Leaver
Upper-class teen Sara flees her parents' middle-England mansion after a disastrous party. She happens upon Nork, a mysterious young, orphan boy seemingly from nowhere. Together they go on the run. Evading the authorities and becoming ever more inter-dependent during their long journey, they finally land up in the Scottish wilderness. They find themselves in a small loch-side town, but will they become the victims of the ruthless, hotel owner McTavish – or can they discover a new life and purpose there? This is a coming-of-age story with comedy, romance and sexual references, that is both thought-provoking and amusing.
Mike Leaver is a semi-retired, handyman aged 68. He lives in a converted, static 10-ton truck on a small-town business park in Snowdonia – and writes books for pleasure. Mike's immobile home has no electricity, mains water or central heating. As well as writing his first two novels – largely on a laptop by candlelight in his lorry – he is penning his life story. Like Alan Bennett's eccentric The Lady in The Van, Mike has become a well-known character around his adopted home of Porthmadog.
