Summary
The astonishing, beautiful new story from the best-selling and Costa short-listed author of Time Travelling with a Hamster.
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 - except he's 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.

Brilliant
I was worried, after Time Traveling With a Hamster, that Ross Welford would be a one trick pony. I needn't have been worried. This story is wonderful.
It's a little slow to get going, I'd say, but the second half is magnificent.
Thanks Ross!

The one thousand year old boy
I think that this book is the best book ever for kids who are between 4 to 19 and are good at listening to get entertained for a while they go some where to do shopping when there kids do not want to come with them or doing any thing with them or when it is raining

ROXY NEEDS A SEQUEL
I love this story so much! The narrators bring the already vibrant characters to life and Ross Welford didn’t skimp on any of the characters. Honestly would 100% recommend, the story is definitely novel but it was a nice change from what you usually get. Most importantly I loved the Roxy Minto. She definitely was a highlight for me and I really wish there was a sequel *hint hint* that delved deeper into her character! Overall great book go listen to it!
