Set in Bootle, north of Liverpool, the book tells of two refugee brothers from Mongolia who are determined to fit in with their new schoolmates while they apply to remain in the UK. A wonderful friendship develops between the boys and Julie, a Year 6 girl in her last term at primary school. When the boys suddenly disappear one day, Julie struggles to separate truth from fantasy.
