\n The astonishing, beautiful new story for all readers of 10 and over from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of Time Travelling with a Hamster.
‘A wonderful story’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave. There are stories about people who want to live forever. This is not one of those stories. This is a story about someone who wants to stop. Alfie Monk is like any other nearly teenage boy \u0096 except he\u0092s 1,000 years old and can remember the last Viking invasion of England. Obviously no one believes him. So when everything Alfie knows and loves is destroyed in a fire and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance and a different way to live.
Which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.
\u0091Boasts all the ingredients of a great book: Brave kids, bold storytelling and a blistering plot. Full of humour and heart\u0092 Abi Elphinstone, author of the Dreamsnatcher.
\u0091The 1000-year-old Boy is a breathtakingly epic story that you won\u0092t be able to put down. In Alfie, Ross Welford has created an unusual and fascinating boy who you are rooting for right from the first word. An original, surprising, moving and compelling read \u0096 I loved it\u0092 M. G. Leonard, author of Beetle Boy
\u0091A wonderful story told with Welford\u0092s trademark warmth, wit and cleverness. Another great read from one of my favourite middle-grade writers\u0092 Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of the Girl of Ink and Stars
\u0091A cracking story about family and friendship that spans all ages\u0092 Christopher Edge, author of the Many Worlds of Albie Bright
\u0091Delightful, charming and filled with humour. This is a unique and uplifting tale of a boy who lives a thousand years, yet still remains young at heart\u0092 Peter Bunzl, author of the Cogheart Adventures.

Into the Sideways World <\/h3>\n

The whole world was heading for war when Manny Weaver and I went through a \u2018grey hole\u2019 to another world. <\/p>\n

Till then, I didn\u2019t believe in magic. Fairies, witches, magic spells, strange lands with talking animals, monsters with three heads and potions to turn you into a giant? <\/p>\n

Even when I was very little, I knew all that stuff wasn\u2019t real. Then I encountered Manny, and the strange animal we called a \u2018cog\u2019, and the brother who I\u2019d never met because he died before I was born. I rode through a lightning storm on a flying jet ski, and lived in a World Without War. <\/p>\n

And so now, if you ask me if I believe in magic? Let\u2019s just say I\u2019m not so sure. <\/p>\n
