Can friendships survive as Denny relives the good times and rewrites the bad in this comic and compelling tale from award-winning author Keith Gray?
Itβs the end of the summer and Denny is having to move away with his mum now that sheβs found a good job, but heβs not planning on leaving quietly. Heβs made a list of scores to settle and wrongs to right before he goes. He asks his best friend, Jake, to help.
Jake is absolutely gutted that Denny is leaving and worries what life will be like without him. Of course heβll do anything to help, no matter how weird or unrealistic the items on Dennyβs list might be. But the list is more powerful than either of them realise β it can make and break friendships.
