The astonishing, beautiful new story for all readers of 10 and over from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A HAMSTER. There are stories about people who want to live forever. This is not one of those stories. This is a story about someone who wants to stop… Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy – except he’s 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England. Obviously no one believes him. So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to live… … which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die. In this magical adventure, Alfie Monk, the 1,000-year-old boy, embarks on a social journey in the modern world, seeking acceptance and friendship. The themes of family and juvenile fiction are beautifully intertwined in this story. For fans of J M Forster (Bad Hair Days), Christopher Edge (The Longest Night of Charlie Noon), Katherine Rundell (Rooftoppers), Maz Evans (The Exploding Life of Scarlett Fife), and M.G. Leonard (Twitch).
