Beskrivning

When Clinton is sent for to join his mother in London, he must leave the quiet and safety of the island behind, his family there, the afternoons spent fishing and, perhaps most importantly of all, his old dog, Rufus. But amongst this change, the lure of nature and the presence of 'a boy's best friend' are never far away. One of six titles about young people growing up in the countryside.
