An ordinary little boy. An extraordinary journey. A story to pull at your heartstrings.

A Richard and Judy Book Club Pick 2018.

Compelling, compassionate and powerful, Rhiannon Navin´s Only Child is the most heartfelt book you´ll read this year.

We all went to school that Tuesday like normal. Not all of us came home.

When the unthinkable happens, six-year-old Zach is at school. Huddled in a cloakroom with his classmates and teacher, he is too young to understand that life will never be the same again.

Afterwards, the once close-knit community is left reeling. Zach´s dad retreats. His mum sets out to seek revenge. Zach, scared, lost and confused, disappears into his super-secret hideout to try to make sense of things. Nothing feels right - until he listens to his heart . . .

But can he remind the grown-ups how to love again?

Narrated by Zach, Only Child is full of heart; a real rollercoaster of a read that will stay with you long after you´ve turned the final page.
