Description

One day, Jake wakes up to a different world: his mum seems to have vanished into thin air! Whilst his Grandma's snoring in the kitchen and his older sister Rose is spending hours getting ready for school, it's down to Jake to start the search for his mum by making a list of places she might be: Tesco The EU Hospital The Bahamas

Being a detective turns out to be QUITE HARD WORK and everyone Jake turns to for help seems FRUSTRATINGLY BUSY. Life at home wasn't perfect, but he can't understand why she would simply RUN OFF like this. And why doesn't everyone else seem more concerned

Reviews

"A child launches into detective mode after his mother goes suddenly missing in Moloneys London-set, character-driven debut...More family story than whodunit, the plot turns toward emotional discoveries via an arc of maturation and finding hope despite lifes uncertainties."
--Publishers Weekly
