Inhalt: Ein tröstlicher Roman, der zu Herzen geht und die Hoffnung schürt, dass man mit einem Freund an der einen und einem guten Buch in der anderen Hand auch die schwierigsten Zeiten im Leben meistert. Freundschaft hat viele Seiten - Tom und Maggie sind die perfekte Gesellschaft für gemütliche Lesenachmittage! Tom führt ein alles andere als normales Teenagerleben. Vor sieben Jahren starb seine Mutter, und sein Vater verfällt zunehmend dem Whisky. Trost findet Tom in der örtlichen Bücherei und in den Büchern, meist Romanzen, die seine Mutter so sehr mochte. Das darf natürlich niemand wissen, vor allem nicht die coole Farah aus der Schule, die ebenfalls oft Bücher ausleiht. Maggie ist Rentnerin, bestellt ihren Hof aber noch immer selbst, nur der störrische Traktorreifen macht Probleme. Seit einiger Zeit fällt ihr bei ihren Buchclub-Treffen in der Bücherei ein verloren wirkender Junge auf. Als sie von seiner Geschichte erfährt, macht sie ihm ein Angebot: Er hilft ihr auf dem Hof und bekommt dafür endlich einmal etwas anderes zu essen als Fischstäbchen. Bald entsteht eine Freundschaft zwischen ihnen, alles könnte wunderbar sein - doch dann soll die Bücherei geschlossen werden. Gemeinsam mit Farah und dem Buchclub schmieden Tom und Maggie einen Plan, um ihren Lieblingsort zu retten. Systematik: Romane Umfang: 384 Seiten, 1.
