Things are a bit tough for Conor and his mum, so when their sofa breaks and Conor spots one floating up the harbour it seems too good to be true. It’s no ordinary sofa though; Conor goes to sleep on it and when he wakes up everything has changed. He’s in a different world with its own cast of characters, and the sensation that he’s forgetting something important. Where is he and how will he find his way back to his mum? A strange and enthralling read.
