Feather Boy

Always kicked around, always ignored, geeky Robert secretly longs to find his voice. Then he tangles with school bully Niker, and finds himself facing a terrifying dare: to spend a night in spooky old Chance House, where a young boy died in tragic circumstances. But Niker’s challenge isn’t only frightening. It leads Robert into a shocking journey of discovery. On that terrible and magical night, can Robert finally turn the tables on his tormenter? Will freedom be waiting on the other side?

Winner – Blue Peter Book of the Year Award 2002.
