If you're always thinking that the next thing will make
you happy ... what happens to right now?
Seventeen-year-old Sam, who has cerebral palsy, wants some control
over his life.
When he is excluded from yet another school trip and has to spend
the day with his bully, it’s the tipping point.
In his campaign for change, Sam gets more than he bargained for.
But if you’re always thinking that the next thing will make
you happy, what happens to right now?
A debut own-voices coming-of-age YA novel by young Irish
screenwriter and author, Alan Carrigan, who has quadriplegic
cerebral palsy.
An authentic, witty and nuanced story with a powerful,
universal message, about unlikely friendships and the realities
of living with disability.
Simultaneously hard-hitting and heartwarming, with shades
of Out of My Mind and Elle McNicoll.
