At fourteen years old, Sam Johnson has a fairly peaceful way of life; he has the company of life-long friends and lives in a pleasant house on the outskirts of Nottingham. He even finds school hassle-free, usually. In fact, there is only one thing that spoils Sam’s life; for the last five months his father has been working in South Africa and Sam misses him, a lot. Thankfully with Christmas in a few weeks, Steve Johnson is due to come home for the holidays. But an unkind twist of fate changes Sam’s life, literally overnight. He has to leave his comfortable surroundings and friends behind, and move to a quiet country village, to stay with an aunt he hardly knows, and an uncle he has never met before. Within a very short time Sam discovers life in the picturesque village hides a darker side and his uncle has a secret. Over the next few weeks Sam makes both enemies and friends, and he discovers childhood fantasies can turn into reality. |
