THE BOY WHO FELL DOWN EXIT 43
Shortlisted for the 2010 Blue Peter Book Awards (category ‘ Book I couldn’t put down’) .A quirky debut middle-grade novel that is adventurous, charming and poignant by turns, but which also focuses on the biggest issues of life and death.
Finn Oliver will never accept his father’s death, but he finds a few minutes of forgetting as he joy-rides over the moors in the beat-up family car. Then the accident happens – and Finn hurtles through the wafer-thin divide between the living and the dead.
The Underworld is threatened by storms on the Other Side, and the ghosts who live there know their only hope is an ancient prophecy: that a mortal child and a child of the Underworld will together unlock the Firepearl from its elemental enchantments and save the dead from disaster.
Now that moment has come, and Finn is about to embark on an extraordinary journey to the centre of the Earth!
