“ Mam, did you think George was, ” I say, “a bit … weird?” “ Weird? Yes, I suppose so. But you kids are all a bit weird if you ask me. & to tell the truth, it’d be weird if you weren’t.” When a new boy joins the class, everyone thinks he’s a bit strange, but he’s brilliant at football & loves crisps, & that’s all that matters to Dan & Maxie. However, the truth about George is stranger than anyone could have imagined … & more sinister, too. Can his new pals help him to become truly free?
