Gareth Thompson
Medium Paperback
A compelling debut novel about first love and an unlikely friendship, set against the backdrop of the breathtaking Cumbrian landscape.
Glenn Jackson is thirteen and has moved with his father from Burnley to Torbeck in the Lake District. His Mum has not come with them and Glenns father is avoiding Glenns questions. From the moment Glenn meets Laura, quiet and overshadowed by her vindictive adoptive sister, he is bewitched.
Harlequin is a seven-foot tall eighteen-year-old living rough in an abandoned shack, disguising himself behind clowns make-up and an old hat. He hides in terror whenever the fighter jets have practice runs over Torbeck. When Harlequin rescues Glenn, the two form an unusual friendship and Glenn comes closer to discovering what Harlequin is running away from.
