The Boy Who Sailed the Ocean in an Armchair

£7.99

All Becket wants is for his family to be whole again. But standing in his way are two things: 1) his dad, his brother and he seem to have run away from home in the middle of the night and 2) Becket’s mum died before he got the chance to say goodbye to her. Arming himself with an armchair of stories, a snail named Brian and 1000 paper cranes, Becket ploughs on, determined to make his wish come true.

Description

Becket Rumsey is all at sea.

His dad has run away with him and his brother Billy in the middle of the night. And they’ve left everything behind, including their almost-mum Pearl. Becket has no idea what’s going on – it’s a mystery.

So with the help of Billy and a snail called Brian, Becket sets out on a journey of discovery. It’s not plain sailing, but then what journeys ever are?

A story of new beginnings, and learning that goodbye isn’t always the end, from the bestselling author of A Boy Called Hope.
