This is a sweet, funny and nostalgic story about childhood friendship and grown up responsibilities.   It could do with a little polishing; I spotted a few typos and there are some bits of unnecessary dialogue/description, but it has a big heart and a good ending. For me the first half (set in 1988) was a lot more engaging, the second 'modern' segment dragged a bit but that ending pulled it all together nicely. I think it would appeal to a younger audience well (most of the 80's references would still be known to those growing up with Stranger Things etc), it touches on a couple of darker subjects but it's mostly told with a sense of childlike wonder. 

A cosy and colourful adventure story.
