SPOILERS for Odd Child Out by Gilly Macmillan



So many secrets to reveal....  Abdi had discovered through the photographs that Noah's father had taken of a refugee camp in Somalia that he was the product of rape.  His mother was raped one night and shortly after they immigrated to England.   The knowledge of his true patronage was devastating and Abdi set off on a mission to find his father.

Noah Sadler also had a secret.  He was fighting terminal cancer.  He asked Abdi to go with him to the canal that night. But what Abdi didn't know was Noah went to the canal with the intention of committing suicide. He had stuffed his backpack with rocks to weigh him down.  He had sent letters to his family and to Noah that explained his intentions that night.

After Noah died Abdi found his father, and he is a very, very bad man.  The police and his family found him before he could be hurt.
