Winner of the Branford Boase award 2014: a truly beautiful book about the summer that changed one girl's life - one in which her mum leaves home, travellers set up camp in the family's field, her older brother goes off the rails, and she falls in love for the very first time.
Iris is mourning the boy in the casket - but who is it? Sam, her tearaway brother, or Trick, her tentative boyfriend?
Over one long hot summer, we find out just how their three lives were turned upside-down.
