The Saturday Boy

Eleven-year-old Derek faces daily challenges: a bullying ex-best friend at school and his father's absence as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan. At home, his mother's moodiness adds to the turmoil. Derek finds comfort in his father's letters, each one a lifeline offering strength and guidance. But as he navigates these struggles, Derek yearns for the one message he hasn't received yet: the promise of his father's return. Will these letters be enough to help him overcome his fears and uncertainties, or will they only deepen his longing for his dad?
