Bookroo's summary

Robert's world turns dull when his best friend moves away, leaving him without companionship or fun. Just as loneliness sets in, he meets Will, another boy searching for a friend. Together, they discover the joy of new beginnings and the power of friendship. Can they fill the void left by their pasts and forge a bond that lasts?

From the publisher

When his best friend Peter moves away, Robert has no one to play with, no one to fight with, and no fun at all. Then he meets Will - and finds he’s not the only one who needs a new best friend.
