The hotly anticipated new book from award-winning writer Matt Goodfellow, author of bestselling The Final Year. Meet Alfie Piper, embarking on a summer he'll never forget ...

Alfie Piper has six weeks of summer - and nothing left to lose.

Since his mum died, Alfie's world has unravelled. The silence between him and his stepdad roars louder than ever.

So he does the only thing that makes sense: grabs his bike, and rides.

In these long summer days, can Alfie rebuild what was broken?

Compulsively readable and beautifully-written, this is an unforgettable story of love and loss, family and hope. From Matt Goodfellow, winner of the CLiPPA Award - with breathtaking illustrations from Joe Todd-Stanton. ©2026 Matt Goodfellow (P)2026 Hachette Children's Group

Kritikerstimmen

This heartbreakingly poignant 11+ verse novel delicately traces the slow, non-linear processes of acceptance and healing, heightened by Todd-Stanton's shadowy, sweet black-and-white illustrations
This extraordinary free verse novel is a raw and almost overwhelming study of grief, love, family and hope...a slow, beautifully handled exploration of the past, grief and healing. Painful and authentic, it's full of wisdom, hope and a resolution that will make you cry. I did.
Beautifully handled, warm and wise
A poignant story
Jaw droppingly good - perhaps one of the most emotionally powerful children's books of the past few years
A moving story told in verse about grief and family and love and loss
Six Weeks is a beautifully written verse novel...the illustrations throughout this book are thoughtfully drawn and evoke both the despair and the slow dawn beautifully
