No Friend of Mine

No Friend of Mine

by Ann Turnbull (Author), Ann Turnbull (Author)

Synopsis

It is 1937 and in the mining and factory town where Lennie and his family live, the workers and bosses are constantly in conflict. Meanwhile, young Lennie's got plenty of troubles of his own. Bullied in and out of school, he seeks refuge in a ruined cottage in the woods - where he meets Ralph. Well-fed, well-clothed, well-spoken and very well-heeled, Ralph is unlike any of the other boys Lennie knows. The two quickly form a friendship but then Lennie learns that Ralph is the son of one of the local bosses, a man with whom Lennie's father has often clashed. Coming from such different backgrounds, can the two boys ever truly be friends? Ann Turnbull is the author of a number of books for young people, including The Sand Horse and Trouble with Bats . Pigeon Summer , her first title for Walker Books, was shortlisted for the 1992 Smarties Book Prize and the W.H. Smith Mindboggling Books Award.
