Each time, though, the cat appears and somehow manages to keep him alive. Nick can't figure out who the cat belongs to or why he keeps showing up, and as more people begin to take notice of his newfound protector—particularly his worried mother and his obnoxious older brother—he is determined to find out exactly what is going on. As his friends begin to back away and make fun of him, Nick finds an ally in Emma, his former nemesis. When his mother delivers some devastating news, he and Emma begin to put the pieces together and they come to the realization that Mike may have a far bigger place in Nick's life than either of them could have ever imagined.

Your school days, so the saying goes, are the happiest days of your life. But what happens to those who are excluded from mainstream school - children who are so scarred by personal trauma that normal classroom interaction is simply not possible? Or those who cannot attend through serious illness, accident, or special educational needs? If they are very lucky, they will get a personal tutor, funded by the Education Authority, to help restore their often fractured lives. In Nine Lives, Ruth Brooks, recounts just a few of their heart-rending stories – children like Cassie, Aisha, Wayne, and ‘Ivan the Terrible.’ She digs deep to find the clues and unlock the mystery behind each child’s problems – and invites the reader to do the same. With warmth, love, and a lot of detective work, she finds a unique way to reach every child, challenging us to see the vulnerability behind the behaviour. In a time of economic austerity and severe budgetary cuts, Ruth’s direct honesty and passionate championing of the vital role played by one-to-one tuition, encourages an urgent re-think by policy makers and politicians. Every child deserves a second chance.
