Product Description
Sam is nine years old and in Year 4 at school. Mum and dad tell him they don’t want to live together anymore so Sam has to move to a new house and school. He is so upset that he plays football badly and loses his place in the team. All Sam wants to do is climb into one of the packing cases and wake up when it’s all over. But then he meets his new neighbours and their dog, Muttley...maybe a “Fresh Start” isn’t so bad after all.
First published by Scholastic for “Literacy Time”, the first two stories of Sam and Katie, his new neighbour, have already been enthusiastically received in schools. Two of the stories feature Sam and Katie going back in time to the days of World War 2.

Just the book for PHSE and circle time to promote discussion, it focuses on boys and single dads coming to terms with their new situation and showing how a fresh start can have a positive outcome.
