Product description

Acclaimed author Malorie Blackman pushes the boundaries of how stories are told with this unusual and lyrical tale in blank verse. Class bully Sam thinks Davey’s a grade A, top-of-the-dungheap moron. But one day Davey saves Sam’s life, and a bond is formed between them. At first Sam feels embarrassed by Davey, but little by little he is influenced by the unique way in which Davey sees the world, finding magic and possibility everywhere. But when something terrible happens to Davey because of Sam, it will change their friendship forever. When the fallout settles, what will each boy have lost – and gained? Strikingly unusual, and with a memorable twist in the tale, this poem explores themes of bullying and individuality in verse that truly sings out.
