This quiet, reflective book invites a pause from the bustle of the world around us. It offers a counter-cultural picture of Finley, someone who doesn’t automatically fit and provides a voice for the introverted child who might go unseen in an education system that is often set up for the more extroverted. Finley’s quiet, thoughtful approach to life positively impacts on all of those around him in this highly unusual novel which emphasises how stillness and self-acceptance can be superpowers.
