Last bus to Everland

A misfit feels he has found a place where he fits in when he meets a friend who introduces him to a magical place called Everland.

Brody Fair has had enough of real life. Enough of the bullies on his block, of being second best to his genius brother, and of not fitting in at school or at home.

Then one day he meets Nico. Colourful, confident and flamboyant, he promises to take Brody to Everland, a diverse magical place. A place where he can be himself, where there are no rules, time doesn't pass, and the party never ends. The only catch? It's a place so good, you could lose yourself and forget what's real.

NOTE : Deals with anxiety, PTSD, bullying and eating disorders. Contains swearing.

NOTE : Set in Edinburgh.

Mix of fantasy and real world is beautifully realised and the family and friendship relationships leap off the page. Heartwarming without being sappy. Great stuff with excellent shelf appeal.
