Sorting out Charlie.
Charlie Evans.
Sometimes you have to travel halfway around the world to find yourself.
Charlie Evans is a restless teenager growing up in Gorey, County Wexford. When his rebellious streak lands him in trouble with the law, his exasperated parents make a bold decision-they send him to India for a year of schooling.
Torn from everything familiar, Charlie resents his new life. The heat, the culture, the strict routines-it all feels impossible. But as the months pass, friendship and love begin to change him. A local boy introduces Charlie to the game of cricket, and through the sport-and through Sharu, his friend's spirited sister-he starts to see the world, and himself, in a new light.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of modern India, Charlie Evans is a coming-of-age story about second chances, young love, and the unexpected ways we grow when we step outside our comfort zones.
