An insightful and thought-provoking novel about the relationship between a teenager and a refugee from South Sudan dealing with real issues encountered by young African people. Tim is nearing the end of his final year of secondary school and all he wants is for it to finish. Against his better judgement he agrees to the Head Teacher’s request for him to “buddy up” with Gabriel, a refugee from South Sudan. Two months and it’ll be done, he tells himself. But when both Tim and Gabriel’s father each make one simple but momentous decision, they are propelled in directions they never imagined they’d go. Murph doesn’t get it, Cat is shocked and angry and Gabriel is in a coma. Tim must re-evaluate his relationships with his mother and estranged father and ultimately decide if he’s got everything all wrong and if there’s any coming back.
