Cloud Busting

Class bully Sam thinks Davey’s a grade A, top-of-the-dungheap moron. But when Davey saves Sam’s life, they become friends. Sam can’t help noticing how Davey sees the world, finding magic and possibility everywhere. But one day something terrible happens to Davey – and it’s all Sam’s fault…

Gripping, powerful and strikingly unusual, this remarkable story of friendship and betrayal is told in simple verse.
