תקציר הספר
Kevin Brooks, the groundbreaking author of the highly acclaimed young adult novels Martyn Pig and Lucas, delivers another thought-provoking thriller.
The teasing. The shoving. The name-calling. It's what overweight Moo Nelson calls "the rain." It's what he has to deal with every day of his life. There's no umbrella big enough to keep the other kids' cruelty from pouring down on him.
But everything is different on the bridge. Moo's bridge. High above the traffic, it's the only place Moo can watch the world go by and be in peace. Until the night Moo witnesses a car chase. And a murder.
Suddenly, everyone--gangsters, policeman, and even the school-bullies--want something from Moo. They want the truth--or some version of it. Now Moo must decide between truth and lies, loyalty and loneliness, justice and retribution. And he must do it soon...
In a bold, unfortgetable voice, Kevin Brooks tells a story of pain and discovery that will resonate with young adult readers everywhere.
