Reasons to Go Outside (King Esme); Hodder & Stoughton, 2022

A heartwarming and uplifting debut about the power of friendship, facing your fears, and finding the courage to step into the rest of your life

Pearl Winter hasn't been outside in forty-three years.

Since his mother's death he's been adrift - from the life that's been mapped out for him, and from his dad's new girlfriend, who is busy painting him out of the family, one wall at a time.

But when Connor takes a summer job as Pearl's gardener, their unexpected friendship opens the door to a fresh start for them both. If they can just take the first step . . .
