One of Our Books of the Year 2017 | Longlisted for the UKLA 2018 Book Award

A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month  |   February 2017 Book of the Month  |   Interest Age Teen  Reading Age 8     Mikey thinks the world of his Dad even though he doesn’t see him that often. And when he dies suddenly, Mikey is left with nothing to remember him by except a few fleeting memories of his amazing ability to imitate any voice. With nothing to hang on to, Mikey starts to fall apart. His best mate knows that he must do something to save him and that means finding someone or something that can bring the two together. The search is bleak and dangerous – Mikey’s dad had few friends and many enemies - but the end is triumphant! Phil Earle has created a moving and meaningful story which captures the irreplaceable importance of friendship.  ~ Julia Eccleshare

A Piece of Passion from Barrington Stoke MD Mairi Kidd:    “When Phil first told me the plot of Mind The Gap I had goosebumps. There’s a real power and urgency to Phil’s writing for young adults, and I love that he has taken a touching true story of love and remembrance and fused it with something very raw – an account of terrible grief experienced by a young man who doesn’t really know how to express or process it, and a friend who desperately wants to help. It’s a hugely emotional story, told sparsely and brilliantly.”

Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic teen readers.
