So he does the only thing that makes sense: grabs his bike, and rides.
In these long summer days, can Alfie rebuild what was broken?

Critic Reviews
This heartbreakingly poignant 11+ verse novel delicately traces the slow, non-linear processes of acceptance and healing, heightened by Todd-Stanton's shadowy, sweet black-and-white illustrations
This extraordinary free verse novel is a raw and almost overwhelming study of grief, love, family and hope...a slow, beautifully handled exploration of the past, grief and healing. Painful and authentic, it's full of wisdom, hope and a resolution that will make you cry. I did.
Beautifully handled, warm and wise
A poignant story
Jaw droppingly good - perhaps one of the most emotionally powerful children's books of the past few years
A moving story told in verse about grief and family and love and loss
Six Weeks is a beautifully written verse novel...the illustrations throughout this book are thoughtfully drawn and evoke both the despair and the slow dawn beautifully
