THE 1,000-YEAR-OLD BOY 
by Ross Welford



There are stories about people who want to live forever. This is not one of those stories. 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 way to reverse immortality and grow up like a regular boy.

Congratulations Alex D., you are our Win it Wednesday winner!
