I totally agree with your assessment of this book Helen. I also thought it was a beautifully written story.

Photograph of A Million Tiny Missiles All At Once, by Lucas Maxwell. The cover is yellow and shows a boy walking away from us, he has a red rucksack, and all around him are tiny coloured dots in red, green, blue and white.

Why do I like it: Lucas’s ability to delineate character through dialogue is extraordinary. Every single person here feels solid and real. Elias, our narrator, also has a very distinctive and believable voice. All so meticulously observed. The difficult family situation is drawn sensitively and with compassion, and it is a very hopeful story. I enjoyed it immensely.
