William Wall recommends

The Ballad of Ronan McCoy (2026)
Colin Morgan
"An emotional rollercoaster of a book, an elegantly restrained account of how a bright young teenager comes to terms with his best friend's devastating accident. A gripping, clear-eyed, moving look at loss and love in a country town in a post-Troubles Northern Ireland."
