Two very different boys, one new family, a shared struggle and a big secret.
Ryan didn't want a new mum, let alone a new brother! But when his parents split up and his dad moves in with Naomi, she comes with Tommy – one year older, chucked out of his old school and now joining Ryan's class. Great. Suddenly sharing a home and a classroom with a complete stranger is a bit much.
Flung together, the two boys clash, but gradually realise that they are more similar than they thought.
