ebook
11 year old Tom Holliday feels that life is holding him back. This is less to do with his wheelchair but more about his over-protective father, which means that the only adventure Tom usually gets to have is through his prolific story writing. That is until a spontaneous act by his maverick grandmother, and a certain kind of magic only possible in a last breath, brings the world of Tom's imagination to life. Only, it isn't a sweet little story that Tom has been writing: it's a perilous, jaw-dropping quest. Detective Benedict Fields thinks this is nothing more than a case of a runaway kid trying to teach his father a lesson. But how is it that the boy has managed to leave his wheelchair behind? And what are the implications for the detective's own family? The monsters have been let out of their pages. How can a boy and his walking stick wielding grandmother put them back? Written by father and son for their mother / nanna, 'Leave The Last Page' is a story about independence, family, and a mysterious man in a black suit who has no intention of being confined by the pages of a book.
