He’s happiest when helping Grandaddy dig potatoes from the vegetable garden that connects their houses. But Philbet’s world is shattered and his resilience shaken by events that crush his innocence and sense of security; expose his misshapen chest skillfully hidden behind shirts Mama makes at home; and convince him that he’s not fit to be loved by Knox, the older boy he idolizes to distraction. Over time, Philbet finds refuge in unexpected places and inner strength in unexpected ways, leading to a resolution from beyond the grave.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45294439465118,"sku":"HPC-9781637585764","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781637585764.jpg?v=1743556627","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781637585764","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
