| Summary |
This is a vivid story of a teenage boy and the road trip that clears his head and his heart. Merrick Hilton has done a runner. His folks think he is studying, but the real world has been calling for years and he cannot ignore it any longer. A postie bike, a bedroll and a big sky - that is all he needs. But there is no telling how he will handle roadkill, stolen oranges and unexpected romance, let alone the rough stuff. And in the real world nothing goes entirely as planned. Thankfully Victor - the old bloke Merrick meets on the road - knows a thing or two about broken bike chains. And broken hearts. |
