Patrick Smith tells us all about his new book, 'The Dummy Pass', which is a story for children aged between 8 and 12, with themes of friendship, bullying, rugby, divorce and a magic portal.  "An original, imaginative and sensitive book, The Dummy Pass beautifully captures the conflicting emotions of a boy desperately trying to find a firm footing as his world begins to fall apart".   You can order a copy from patricksmith.uk/books/the-dummy-pass.
