Overview

Some summers were made for growing up…   Dundee, 1917. When his father goes to fight in the war, 11-year-old James is sent to live with his mill-town relatives and his cousin, Billy. In this unfamiliar world of poverty, bullying, and uncertainty, James fights to be accepted and learns the true value of friendship and family.   ‘The God of All Small Boys is the one who grows trees, with branches in just the right places, so we can climb right to the top. He invented fireworks and dogs and sticks and horses and muddy puddles. And he lets us find secret places... like this!’

Author Information

Before turning to children’s fiction, Joseph Lamb wrote historical dramas which were performed throughout Scotland. Much of his creative output is set in Scotland, with a focus on his home town of Dundee—where he lives with his wife and two children.   An actor with over 30 years’ experience, Joseph frequently undertakes school visits and public events, based around his historical writing work—covering eras from the Vikings, to the Jacobites, and beyond. @joecovenant www.joecovenant.com www.facebook.com/TheGodOfAllSmallBoys/
