The Truth of Things

"All of the bad things that were in my mind - the bad memories, the regrets, the pain - they all got blown away by the wind and by Kenny's laughter."
Life is pretty tough for Nicky and Kenny. Their mum is gone and their dad has had his troubles. Money is tight and people can be cruel about Kenny's learning difficulties. But through it all, the brothers stick together, sharing adventures and their love of the natural world, while finding humour in the most difficult of circumstances.
