When a body of a girl is found, drowned, in an apparent suicide, Will finds it easy to see himself as somehow responsible. After all her is bad luck, he is hexed, isn't he? When he starts to build his amazing sculptures at the waters edge, others around him start to veiw him as an ill-omen too. But Will is not to blame, not for this girls death nor for what happened to his parents, and it is only time and a touching new friendship that will allow him too see his way clear of his worries.

In this amazing portrayal of a teen's descent into depression and loneliness as well as his uplifting recovery, Chris Lynch has proven himself to be a first-class writer concerned with the emotional lives of young adults.

Chris lives in Ayrshire in Scotland. This is his second book for Bloomsbury.
