# Where Are the Kings

Jack is twelve when he races down a hill on his bike after his mother's car, desperate to reach her before it gets to the lake. What happens next cannot be undone, and he must find his way through the bewildering years between boyhood and manhood without the person who kept him steady.

Around Jack are a fiercely devoted Nana, a Grandad given to sudden rage, uncles Haulie and Theo eager to teach him what it means to be a man, the resentful JJ, and his aunt Rose, whose presence unsettles his changing body. Donal Ryan, Orwell Prize winner, writes about grief, hidden family secrets and adolescence with a gentle eye. It suits anyone who remembers how lonely growing up can feel inside a warm but difficult family.
