Costa Award-winning author Brian Conaghan's first book for younger readers is a funny, life-affirming, unforgettable comic drama. Perfect for fans of Frank Cottrell-Boyce and Lisa Thompson. Nobody at school can see past Lenny's size to the person within, and he's sick of trying to make them. So when lessons gets too tough, he always goes to his bench to think. There, at least, no one can see him. But one day, midway through lobbing his empty can of Irn-Bru into the river, he's stopped by Bruce. Bruce lives in a cardboard home hidden away by the banks, and he doesn't approve of people messing up his front lawn ... But a bumpy start soon gives way to an unexpected friendship - and an epic road trip - that will change both of them for life. Brian Conaghan's first middle grade title is a pacey, thought-provoking odd-couple adventure full of his trademark heart, humour and crackling dialogue. Brian Conaghan has won the Costa Children's Book Award, the Irish Book Award, the UKLA Book Award and has been shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal for his YA novels. Cardboard Cowboys is his first book for younger readers.
