About this eBook
Journey back to childhood, where the buds of friendship blossom; take a peek into the lives of the primary schoolchildren who would become...The Circle.
A prequel to the Hiding Behind The Couch books.
As the title suggests, this short story focuses on the early school days, long before the birth of the full 'Circle' - a series of sectors, if you will.
Contains no real spoilers, so can be read independently of the rest of the series and in any order.
"A very sweet short story of blossoming friendships and childhood traumas."
"...a wonderful, engaging story that made me feel good inside.... Highly recommended for readers who love richly written characters and clever dialogue."

About the author
Debbie McGowan is a social scientist, author and publisher, from the North-West UK, whose personal and academic interests collide in her writing, which is character-driven fiction:
"I try to tell the story of the characters' everyday lives, their personal challenges and achievements. I throw in a few big events along the way - the kind of stuff that happens in real life, but when you read it in fiction, you think, 'Well that's a bit far-fetched.'"
