Frankie Parsons is 12 going on an old man: an apparently sensible, talented Year 8 with a drumbeat of worrying questions steadily gaining volume in his head. Only Ma takes seriously his catalogue of persistent anxieties; only Ma listens patiently to his 10 pm queries. But of course it is Ma who is the cause of the most worrying question of all, the one that Frankie can never bring himself to ask. [Taken from book blurb.] A "Coming of Age" novel. Winner Montana NZ Book Award; Reader's Choice, NZ Post Children's and Young Adult's Book Award; Young Adult fiction.
