About the text

A story of new beginnings in a new land, and a surprising, heartwarming companion to A Different Boy and A Different Dog.

Christopher is twelve thousand miles from home. The pub has a dirt floor and the owner is as rough as guts. The forest hides snakes, feral pigs and a dark secret.

Mysterious, bold and strange.

Expect the unexpected. And watch your step.

Enter this place and you will be different for ever.
