Where do I feel at home?

When I’m sitting with my dog, Digger.

James splits his life between his mum’s and his dad’s houses. It’s far from perfect. Especially now Dad doesn’t have time for bike rides with him any more and Mum’s always with her new boyfriend. The constant is Digger, his dog and best friend. He’s the glue that holds the two halves of James’s life together.

So when James finds a lump on Digger’s leg, everything changes. Digger is the one he can talk to about anything. But when it’s Digger he needs to talk about, where can he turn?

A touching story about family, friendship and finding your voice, for readers of Jacqueline Wilson, Lisa Thompson and I, COSMO.

Editorial Reviews

“Narrator Laurence Boxhall flawlessly presents endearing James as he faces his parents’ divorce in this coming-of-age story. Listeners observe the close bond James has with his dog, Digger…The heartbreaking reality of this story is painful yet comforting, and James’s changing feelings about the new adults in his life are well rendered. Further, Boxhall's spirited recitations of the students’ poetry are a delight. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile

Author Bio: Ros Roberts

Author Bio: Ros Roberts

Ros Roberts grew up when phones were attached to the wall by wiggly wires and music was taped on to cassettes. Amazing teachers encouraged her love of writing, setting her daily challenges to create poems to read to the class. She became a teacher herself; in her own classroom, free writing was a daily necessity and she felt privileged to watch the children’s progress when words flowed without boundaries. Ros loves the rain, eating brunch, tennis and TV. She loves dogs too, and Texi, their beautiful Bernese mountain dog, inspired her debut book Digger and Me. She and her family have enjoyed living abroad in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and Austin, Texas, but she is very happy and proud to be back living with her husband and three sons in the north of England, where her roots lie.
