Other editions of book When the Snow Falls: Fifty-fifty

In the two years since the tragedy that tore the heart out of his family, Rob Harrison’s world has crumbled about him, and it looks as if it’s not going to get any better. But then the snow falls, and Rob is shown how his life might have been – should have been. The snag is that in that reality his place has been taken by a girl. A girl called Bobby.Published in 1995 and now available as an ebook, Michael Lawrence’s first novel for children is a fascinating tale of Chance. Some years later the author developed and expanded this story for older readers into A Crack in the Line, Volume 1 of The Aldous Lexicon, a trilogy for young adults, also available as Kindle ebooks. EXTRACTS FROM REVIEWS OF WHEN THE SNOW FALLSThis is one of the most thought-provoking books I've read in a long time. It touches upon a metaphysical enigma at just the right level for curious children, while the tale of bereavement, acceptance and renewal that it tells is both moving and intriguing. ('Books for Keeps' review)>>>For his first novel Michael Lawrence has chosen to play ducks and drakes with the old established philosophical tenet that nothing can both be and not be in the same time and place. Molly Harrison is involved in a serious car accident and given a fifty-fifty chance of survival. In When the Snow Falls she both dies and survives. How her husband and child cope with such a development leading in such differing directions is explored in fascinating detail. The author is to be congratulated on having produced so outwardly attractive and entertaining a can of logical worms. Hopefully, some enterprising film director will be introduced to the scenario of When the Snow Falls and have fun illuminating it with all the tricks available to the modern film maker.('Junior Bookshelf' review)
