As summer draws to a close, Denny is faced with the prospect of moving away with his mother, who has secured a new job. However, he has no intentions of making his departure a silent one.
Can friendships survive as Denny relives the good times and rewrites the bad in this comic and compelling tale.
He's made a list of scores to settle and wrongs to right before he goes. He asks his best friend, Jake, to help.
Jake is absolutely gutted that Denny is leaving and worries what life will be like without him. Of course he'll do anything to help, no matter how weird or unrealistic the items on Denny's list might be. But the list is more powerful than either of them realise - it can make and break friendships.
