A tiny pub with a dirt floor and corrugated iron walls. A caravan containing the remnants of a dead pig. Snakes, bugs and torrential rain. Not what Christopher's family expected when they crossed the sea to find a new life. Add a landlord who's not what he seems, and Christopher ...finds himself facing challenges he could never have imagined. Will he ever be able to make a home for himself in this strange and different land? From the author of A Different Boy and A Different Dog, long-listed for the prestigious UK Carnegie Medal.
