Brooklyn Valentine is fourteen. His mother was young when she had him and couldn't cope. His father left her before he even knew she was pregnant. He lives with his foster mother, Lesley Harris and his two foster siblings, eight year old Freya McCartney and Sam Reid, who's fourteen too. That means they're in the same year... even the same class at school...bad news for Brooklyn.
There's been animosity between Brooklyn and Sam since the day they met at three years old, which has grown into hatred over the years. Set on making his almost-brother's life a living hell, Sam resorts to torturing Brooklyn. He has a hold over his life to and extent where he knows what happens every second of Brooklyn's day.
Zoe Millar. Brooklyn's idea of perfection. A clever, witty, red-haired beauty, to Brook she's like a dream. And that's exactly why he knows Sam will never let him have her.
But as they grow up... can Brooklyn ever learn to stand up for himself and let go of the past?
