L. A. Weatherly

For Jake, playing his guitar is his only respite from life with his alcoholic mother. When he runs away from home to escape his mother’s violence, he ends up in a squat and resorts to busking to earn some cash. But will music help him get home? Gritty urban story. Barrington Stoke specialise in books for reluctant, struggling and dyslexic readers.
