The Nearest Faraway Place Description
A powerfully told story of the love between two brothers in the aftermath of a family tragedy Griff and Dylan are driving into Manhattan with their parents when the worst happens. There is a terrible car accident and Dylan and Griff(1)s parents are killed. The boys are suddenly orphans with nowhere to go, until a kind aunt and uncle give them a new home in Wales. Now Dylan and Griff have everything they need - love, a happy home and a future. But Dylan is worried about Griff: whether he is OK, whether he is coping with his grief. He doesn(1)t seem to want to speak about it or really acknowledge the loss of their parents. But Dylan needs to be even braver than Griff, because there is something very important he needs to face up to before he can move on. The heartbreaking new novel from award-winning author Hayley Long Winner of the Mal Peet Children's Book Award at the 2017 East Anglian Book Awards Nominated for the Carnegie Medal 2018 Shortlisted for the Tir na n-Og Award (English language) 2018, the Stockport Children's Book Award 2018, the Staffordshire Young Teen Fiction Award 2018, the Hillingdon Secondary Book of the Year 2018 and the Dudley Teen Book Awards 2018

A powerfully told story of the love between two brothers in the aftermath of a family tragedy.
Griff and Dylan are just returning from a holiday with their parents, sweltering in the heat in the back of a Morris Mini, about to cross into Manhattan. Out of the corner of his eye Dylan is distracted by something sparkly, flying through the air. And then it happens. A trailer from the lorry in front smashes into their car. Dylan and Griff's parents are killed. The boys are suddenly orphans with nowhere to go until a kind aunt and uncle give them a new home in Wales. Now Dylan and Griff have everything they need - love, a happy home and future. But Dylan is worried about Griff: whether he is OK, whether he is copying with the terrible loss. He doesn't seem to speak about it or really acknowledge it. And Dylan has something else that he needs to come to terms with too.
