We all went to school that Tuesday like normal. Not all of us came home. When the unthinkable happens, six-year-old Zach is at school. Huddled in a cloakroom with his classmates and teacher, he is too young to understand that life will never be the same again. Afterwards, the once close-knit community is left reeling. Zach"s dad retreats. His mum sets out to seek revenge. Zach, scared, lost and confused, disappears into his super-secret hideout to try to make sense of things. Nothing feels right – until he listens to his heart. . . But can he remind the grown-ups how to love again? Narrated by Zach, Only Child is full of heart; a real rollercoaster of a read that will stay with you long after you"ve turned the final page. "Captivating. . . Will appeal to fans of Room, The Lovely Bones and The Fault in Our Stars" – Independent
