The Shoulders Of Giants

Like many teenagers,
15-year-old Will Houston is haunted by the question: 'When are you going to grow up?'

During his parents' separation, Will is sent away from the city to live with his grandparents among the rugged Cumbrian fells and lakes.
This is a place with no colour TV, no mobile phone reception and,
worst of all, nowhere to use his computer games. But far from being bored, Will soon uncovers well-kept family secrets and other local mysteries that will threaten the lives of those he loves. Through his bitter-sweet encounters with a colourful array of local characters,
