Absolutely lovely.

Dit bizarre avontuur heeft als hoofdpersonen (en vertellers) een 12-jarige jongen met psoriasis die zijn beste vriend kwijtgeraakt is en zijn 32-jarige, niet zo goede moeder (vindt ze zelf). Mooi verhaal over moed, moederliefde en de juiste mensen om je heen hebben.

Am I the only one who found all of the characters incredibly unbelievable and annoying? From all of the positive reviews I really think so!

A fabulous and uplifting adventure filled with humour, tenderness, love and wisdom. Just the right kind of book for a time such as this.

Four and a half stars for this bittersweet, funny, and heart-warming book. Twelve year-old Norman Foreman lives in Cornwall with his mum, and his best friend, Jax, has just died. Norman and Jax were a comedy duo with plans to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, when Norman wants to go alone, and to find his Dad, Sadie and her elderly friend Leonard, take him on a road trip. Thoroughly lovely characters, and plenty of action, it's a story about giving life your all.

Sweet and sincere with a dash of mourning to keep you grounded.
