Alfie Monk remembers the last Viking invasion of England: he is 1000 years old and, unlike other children, he does not grow up at all. Alfie and his mother are constantly moving from place to place, guarding their secret, and Alfie has no real friends, because all his peers grow up quickly.
One day, a fire breaks out and Alfie loses everything he loved. Now he will have to find his place in the modern world, which means eventually becoming mortal.
A kind and touching story from the popular British author and rising star of children's literature, Ross Welford.
For middle school age.
