Description
Billy's world has been turned upside down when his best friend moves away. Feeling lost and alone, he struggles to cope with the challenges at home. But everything changes when his mum gives him a second-hand copy of Tom's Midnight Garden. This emotional middle-grade story tackles life-changing problems head-on, exploring themes of mental health difficulties, loneliness, and overcoming fear. As Billy forms an unlikely friendship with James, the previous owner of the book, he begins to confront his demons and take control of his life. Ultimately, The Second-Hand Boy is a powerful story about growing up, facing fears, and finding the strength to move forward.
