Two lonely strangers. One chance encounter. Six winning numbers.
Bucket List is a feel-good, life-affirming story about the power of friendship, community and lemon drizzle cake.
Dot is a pensioner who lives her days alone. Max is a young offender doing community service. But a chance meeting in their local park will change everything for this unlikely pair. They soon find they share a wicked sense of humour and a penchant for petty crime.
When Dot wins the lottery, Max helps her make a bucket list of all the things she’s always wanted to do but never had the chance. And Dot helps him turn his life around, opening his eyes to his own potential. From race cars and fun fairs to zombie films and random acts of kindness, the pair soon realise they’ve never been happier. Dot’s astonished to find that her actions cause a ripple effect through the community – proving that it’s not money that makes a difference, but people working together to make a change.

'A poignant, entertaining and uplifting read as loneliness, larceny and a lottery win lead to the unlikeliest of friendships' – Olga Wojtas
'There is pathos and poverty, brutality, and a longing for connection that sings throughout this book. I could not put it down' – Jane Yolen
