Super-readable YA Mind the Gap

Powerful drama of love, loss, family and friendship from a superstar of UK childrens and YA fiction, inspired by a tremendously moving true story.

When Mikey's dad died, something in Mikey died too. He loved his old man and he never stopped dreaming that one day his dad would land the role of a lifetime, prove them all wrong, and rock back up to the estate in the flashiest car anyone had ever seen. Now there's just numbness, and not caring, and really, really stupid decisions. He says the worst of it is that he can't evenremember his dad's voice any more. Eventually Mikey's best mate can't bear it any more, and so he sets out to give Mikey the memories and his dad's voice back.
