Ostrich Boys

Work:: Ostrich Boys (S1857923633)

Kenny, Sim and Blake have hatched a plan to kidnap their best friend Ross. But it's not a ransom they're after. And it's not a proper kidnapping anyway because Ross is already dead, run over while travelling on his bike to school. So the boys are determined to fulfill a wish that their friend had when he was alive - to visit the place that bears his name, Ross in Southern Scotland. Clutching Ross in his urn, the boys set off from Cleethorpes by train to Scotland to begin an action packed and emotional journey, little realising the effect that Ross had on them during his life and how much he still means to them. Combining dark humour with tragedy, this is a wonderfully poignant story about the trials of growing up, which touches on loss, sorrow, hope and the meaning of friendship.
