story of an unlikely friendship and an improbable journey***   Alex Woods knows that he hasn't
had the most conventional start in life.   He knows that growing up with a clairvoyant single
mother won't endear him to the local bullies.   He also knows that even the most improbable
events can happen - he's got the scars to prove it.   What he doesn't know yet is that when he
meets ill-tempered  reclusive widower Mr Peterson  he'll make an unlikely friend. Someone who
tells him that you only get one shot at life. That you have to make the best possible choices.
So when  aged seventeen  Alex is stopped at Dover customs with 113 grams of marijuana  an urn
full of ashes on the passenger seat  and an entire nation in uproar  he's fairly sure he's done
the right thing.   A tale of an unexpected friendship  an unlikely hero and an improbable
journey  Alex's story treads the fine line between light and dark  laughter and tears. And it
might just strike you as one of the funniest  most heartbreaking novels you've ever read.
