Patrick makes his unexpected guest at home, while keeping him hidden from the neighbours, police and his very distractable mum!

Nearly everyone in my class had a pet of some sort. Lots of them had dogs, and a fair few had cats, budgies and goldfish. Max Wallace had a hamster and Adam O'Hara had a tortoise which he claimed was 60 years old, though I'm pretty sure he was exaggerating. Sam Tripp had a small lizard and a pet rabbit, which was a strange combination.

Carthy also explains what ultimately brought him back to where he is now, discovering a path where life is worth living.
