Klett English Editions - Young Adult Literature

Original edition with annotations

Caught between the weight of their pasts and the hope of something better, two teens fight to reshape their futures in modern day Glasgow.


Finlay has left the care system and made it to university against all the odds. Although he is determined, life offers little stability just empty cupboards, long shifts and emotions he isn t sure he can trust. Banjo, living with a new foster family, wants to finish school and hold onto the fragile stability he s found, but struggles to keep his temper from spinning out of control.


Once as close as brothers, Finlay and Banjo are now estranged after a painful fracture neither has fully faced. As new challenges push them to their limits, both must decide whether confronting old wounds could open the door to connection, forgiveness and the belonging they ve always longed for.


A heartfelt story of identity, resilience and the power of chosen family.
