The Complete Tales of Little Leaf - The Tales of Little Leaf

"I expected a basic (but enjoyable) romantic comedy. Instead, I found something much deeper.""A genuinely uplifting and beautiful book.""A gem of a book; an absolute delight to read."Eleven Days in June Dan is happy with his life. He just hasn't started living it yet. Dan Whitaker is 20, lives in a sleepy village in Devon and works in a small DIY shop. He likes numbers and hero worships Lord Nelson.
But he finds ordinary people difficult to understand and he's certainly never had a girlfriend. His mother mocks him, and he misses his father and he pines for Ollie, his only childhood friend who truly understood him. But, despite it all, Dan thinks he's happy enough. Until one June day, the beautiful and mysterious Libby walks into his shop - and into his life. Libby's sudden appearance turns Dan's ordered existence upside down.
But Dan soon realises that Libby isn't who she seems. Who exactly is she? What is she hiding, and, more importantly, who's that threatening man always looking for her? Winter in July Dan's life is going to the dogs. Dan is back. And now, at last, he's got a girlfriend. Problem is, he doesn't know how to talk to her, so he enlists the help of his mother's new boyfriend. It's not going to end well. Yet Dan is more worried about a friend's dog that goes missing.
But it's when a second dog goes missing that Dan's genteel life starts to unravel. In trying to help Libby, Dan comes to realise what's missing in his own life, and, in turn, appreciates what's really important. Departure in September Dan and all his friends are back in a third, thrilling adventure. A week before marrying Dan's mother, Julian is forced into hiding. Dan becomes the unwitting go-between his future stepfather and the men who want to speak to him.
Dan soon finds himself out of his depth as the tendrils of history and terror reach the small village of Little Leaf. Can Daniel save his mother's marriage and, indeed, Julian's life?
