The Truth of Things (Book 4): Lark

McGowan, Anthony/ Gnosspelius, Staffan

Nature’s fury tests a brother’s courage and a dog’s loyalty in this Carnegie Medal winning ending to the story of the beloved brothers of the Truth of Things series.

Things are tense at home for Nicky and Kenny. Their mum’s coming to visit and it will be the first time they’ve seen her in years. A lot has changed since they were little and Nicky’s not so sure he’s ready to see her again.

When they head for a trek across the moors to take their minds off everything, a series of unforeseen circumstances leaves the brothers in a vulnerable and very dangerous position. There might even be a chance that this time not everyone will make it home alive…

Particularly suitable for readers aged 11+ with a reading age of 9. This book has a dyslexia-friendly layout, typeface and paperstock so that even more readers can enjoy it.
