AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'At the young age of fourteen, Roy feels life has dealt him a hard blow. Diagnosed with ADD, his parents find his difficult moods and needs are too far from their own values. When sleep deprivation sends Roy on binge drinking, he wishes life was different when he is expelled from the only home he knows.

'As Roy finds shelter in a nearby rainforest, life becomes a matter of survive or die until a chance meeting and intrinsic values turn his life around. In a place where boys become men, this book will want readers wanting more.

'A story of adventure, hope and identify, where the only motivation to go on, is survival. This short fictional novel reveals the particular challenges facing youth and shows how love and beliefs can sometimes overcome difficulties. This is not just a book for adolescence, but a must read for parents and teachers.' (Publication summary)
