I was asked to read this cute book by NetGalley - I know Alex Horne from appearing in the Channel 4 show - The Last Leg so was intrigued if this would live up to the Cheltenham Literature Festival pre reviews - it did.

This is an intriguing story of a young boy and the relationship he has with his grandfather who is slightly eccentric - we would all have loved a eccentric grandfather.

They find a stone on the beach and brings back things from the past as well as friendships and secrets.

Really lovely story and due for publication 3 July 2025.
