Fifteen-year-old Tyler's teenage angst turns to outright rebellion when his family relocates to Yorkshire from London. He is angry with his parents for the upheaval and frustrated about losing his home. With only his dog as a confidant, Tyler has no idea that a chance encounter with a skinny girl named Spider will lead him into a world he never knew existed. Spider is sofa surfing, and Tyler finds himself entangled in a web of lies as he endeavors to help her escape her world of fear and insecurity. Sofa Surfer showcases how empathy and action can assist those without a home. Similar to his widely acclaimed debut Me Mam. Me Dad. Me., Malcolm Duffy finds humor and heart even in dire situations.
