Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni’s coming-of-age story is, according to Booklist, “a novel that, if it doesn’t cross entirely over into John Irving territory, certainly nestles in close to the border.”
Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered, buoyed by his mother’s devout faith, his father’s practical wisdom, and his two other misfit friends.
Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls.

Steve Cole ‘I still have that sense it could all stop tomorrow’
Steve Cole has always been special. He meets so many new people all the time, but still takes the trouble to remember us. Maybe thats why I ended up going to Jacqueline Wilsons event at the Edinburgh International Book Festival a couple of years ago. It clashed with Steves event, and since we had one ticket for each show, I took it for granted that Daughter would choose Jacqueline. She didnt. Maybe its the Doctor Who connection? Or maybe its just that Steve is a lot of fun.
This year in Edinburgh he has made sure he has time to meet us in the lounge at his hotel and give us a private one-man show. Officially we called it an interview, but we had too much fun, really.
‘How reassuring,’ I say, as Steve tells us about his horrendous flight to Edinburgh the day before, touching down in Rome to repair the wheel on the plane.
