Danny is moving away, but before he goes he's determined to work through his List of wrongs to right, and scores to settle. Jake is gutted that Danny's leaving, but agrees to help. But as they work their way through the list, they find that it's affecting their friendship – will it break it?
The List is a teen novella about friendship and separation. Simply told in a dyslexia-friendly format, with strong characters from the outset, it manages the trick of being sad, funny, and hopeful all at the same time.
As a Barrington Stoke text, this is printed with dyslexia-friendly paper and font, and a super-readable style and vocabulary. Suitable for 11+, but with a reading age of 8+, it's a lovely read.
Many thanks to Barrington Stoke for my copy of this book
