Winner of the Carnegie medal for ‘…“breathtakingly gripping” stories about children on their walk home from school, Look Both Ways.’ – The Guardian

When the bell rings and school is finished for the day, the walkers are finally set free. For ten blocks they have no-one telling them what to do; they can talk about bogies, skateboard, plan dramatic escapes, make jokes, face bullies, and hear about the school bus that fell from the sky… In ten stories (one per block), find out what really happens on the walk home from school, when there are no parents or teachers to supervise (or stop the fun!).

From hilarious escapades to brave challenges, join the walkers for one journey and many, many detours…
