This book is about a boy called Frankie Parsons. He’s a 12 year old boy who has a worrying problem.
Are the smoke alarm batteries flat?
Does the cat (The Fat Controller), and therefore the rest of the family, have worms?
Will bird-flu strike and ruin life as we know it?
Is the kidney-shaped spot on his chest actually a galloping cancer?
Do you see what I mean?!!? Even though there’s six people that are extremely significant in his life, Uncle George (Dad), Louie (his brother), Gordana (his sister), his Great-Aunts, Alma, Teen and Nellie, his Ma and his best friend Gigs, Ma is the only one who really cares about his questions!
But his world is turned upside down when a new girl arrives at school. Sydney is full of questions, relentless, unavoidable questions.
I recommend this book for people 10 and up.
