"Thirteen-year-old Martin and his younger brother, Charlie, are on a very special trip. They're traveling 421 miles, all the way from Preston in northern England to the very tip of Cornwall in the southwest. By train, bus, and taxi, they're determined to get to the spot where they'll be able to catch a glimpse of the dophin that regularly visits the harbor and made last year's family vacation so special. But there's more to it than that. Their family isn't happy like it used to be. Mom stays in bed all day and Dad is always at work. Martin adores his little brother, but Charlie's not like other kids. Wild, eccentric, and completely fearless, he always keeps Martin on his toes. Martin is doing his best to be a good brother, but he'll have to come to terms with the real reasons behind their journey before he can ultimately find peace. Charlie and Me is an unforgettable novel that is funny, adventurous, and heartbreaking." back
