Sandbanker

Life for Alex Miller, a teenager living in a sleepy village, is far from perfect. If his stoner mother and her aggressive boyfriends aren’t bad enough, there are the local bullies, his exploitative ‘best friend’, and the unattainability of the two things he really wants: a relationship with his dead father, and the affections of his crush. If it wasn’t for his secret sea cave retreat, he’d probably go insane.

When the fugitive Jono arrives and takes over the cave, Alex’s life changes forever, but by the time Alex uncovers Jono’s dangerous past it’s too late. If he is to help Jono, stand up to the bullies, save his family and friends, and win the girl, he’ll first have to believe in himself, and choose who he wants to become.
