Endorsed by Child Bereavement UK

A funny, heartbreaking story about life and loss, and

making every second count.

Eric’s best friend, Finn Jones, was the world’s biggest prankster.

Now Eric can’t believe Finn’s not here anymore. …Or is

he?

Eric seems to be getting messages from beyond the grave, and as

he follows Finn’s wild, cryptic instructions, his hope grows that

he’ll find Finn laughing at the end.

The journey also brings memories – and a truth that seems impossible

to accept.
