From award-winning and beloved children's author Elizabeth Laird comes a stunning edition of Jake's Tower - a powerful and moving novel that spotlights the issue of domestic abuse. Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal.

"It's good that I've found this secret place . No one can get to me up there. It's totally safe."

In real life, Jake is never safe. He lives in constant fear of his mother's violent boyfriend. But in his imaginary tower he can dream up his own father - the stranger who gave him a cuddle and a fluffy duck the day he was born and went away for ever.
