Bookroo's summary

In a dense, dark forest, a boy who can't talk and a dog that can't move embark on a mysterious journey. As they navigate unexpected perils, the reasons behind their silence and immobility unfold. What secrets does the forest hold, and will they find their way through the shadows? Prepare for an unexpected twist that will leave you questioning everything.

From the publisher

The forest is dense and dark. And the trail full of unexpected perils. The dog can’t move. The boy can’t talk. And you won’t know why. Or where you are going. You will put this story down not wanting the journey to end. But it’s from Paul Jennings, so watch out for the ambush. One of the best. From one of the best.
