Goodnight, Boy by Nikki Sheehan
A tale of two very different worlds, both shattered by the loss of loved ones. Tragic, comic and full of hope, thanks to a dog called Boy.'While the prose is clear and simple, it is powerfulThis is a gripping read with lots of tension as the reader starts to feel the mental and physical impact of the confinement on JC.'
* School Librarian *'Because of the free verse and well-crafted suspense, reluctant readers can relish a thick(ish) book that reads quickly. The complicated plot resolves solidly, and the characters matter. JC's poignant insights will stay with thoughtful readers long after they finish the book.'
* VOYA *'This is an intricate story in which bits from the past and hints of the present converge on a shocking reveal. JC's hope, perseverance, and tenacity make hima relatable character... A good purchase for schools and libraries.'
* School Library Journal *‘It’s a testimony to Sheehan’s tight writing, plotting and beautifully light touch that it’s impossible not to read on as her humour seeps through the horror.’
* The Times *“With a unique voice, Nikki Sheehan creates a story that is both dark, yet filled with hope. It's one of those books that you want to re-read again and again. Stunning and unforgettable.”
