SNAP DECISIONS CAN BE DANGEROUS . . .

On a stifling summers day, eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car, waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jacks in charge, shed said. I wont be long.

But she doesnt come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever.

Three years later, Jack is still in charge - of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows theyre alone in the house, and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother . . .
