Fourteen year old Calum Brooks has big dreams.
Is he really trying to help, or cover up his own involvement in the crime? 928 Miles from Home is a powerful new story from the multi-award-winning author of Smart and A Seven-Letter Word, Kim Slater..
But Calum can't help feeling like Sergei's hiding something.
Trapped at home, Calum and Sergei slowly start to understand each other, and even work together to investigate a series of break-ins at the local community centre.
He's actually sharing a room with 'the enemy'! How's he going to explain that to his mates? Yet when Calum is knocked down in a hit and run and breaks both legs, everything changes.
But when his father invites his new Polish girlfriend and her son, Sergei, to move in, Calum's life is turned upside down.
For now though, he's stuck coping alone while his dad works away, writing scripts in his head and trying to stay 'in' with his gang of mates at school, who don't like new kids, especially foreign ones.
One day, he'll escape this boring life and write movies, proper ones, with massive budgets and A-list stars.
