Rhyming Boy

Jayden Hayden, wordsmith, aka rhyming boy, doesn’t have a dad – just a mum obsessed with Jayden Finch, the footballer, and an embarrassing name that gets him teased. When a school father-son day is announced, Jayden’s quest for answers becomes a puzzle he needs to solve, and quickly. Could Jayden Finch be more than just a footballer? With the help of his an-answer-to-every-question friend Saskia, he aims to track down his namesake and his father all in one go. A novel about a young boy’s search for family, friendship and … footballers. This is Steve Herrick’s first prose novel for young people.
