the mantelpiece. Five years ago  Jamie's sister  Rose  was blown up by a terrorist bomb. His
family is torn apart by their grief. His mum runs away. His dad turns to drink and hate. Rose's
surviving twin sister Jasmine stops eating  gets piercings and dyes her hair pink - anything to
look different to her twin. But Jamie hasn't cried in all that time. To him  Rose is just a
distant memory.Jamie is far more interested in his cat  Roger  his Spiderman T-shirt  and his
deep longing and unshakeable belief that his Mum will come back to the family she walked out on
months ago.But moving away for a Fresh New Start introduces Jamie to something else very
interesting - a girl named Sunya. Sunya is bright  exciting and fun  and the one person at
school he can call a friend. But how far can this new friendship grow when Jamie is desperate
that his dad doesn't find out?
