The 10pm Question - Kate de Goldi

Recommended for ages 8+.

I finally tracked a copy of this book after so many people recommended it to me. It's a nice quick read about a dysfunctional family and the way in which Frankie, the protagonist, comes to terms with his family, friends and himself. Other than that I can't say that it left me moved.

Author De Goldi wanted to write "about the complexity and hilarity in the everyday business of being human" - something I think she really did achieve. But I also think it takes more than this to create a truly memorable story about personal difficulty and achievement.

If you've read this book, tell me: what did you like so much about it???
