`Alex has a hard life. He doesn't fit in with what his very demanding father wants and struggles to cope with what goes on at home every day. His older brother is a self-serving bully, and his mother doesn't seem to be able to make things any better. However, he loves his little sister very much and does everything he can to look out for her. And then the very worst thing happens, and he is no longer able to look after her, nor even himself. This is an excellent book. It is gripping, puzzling and heart-breaking. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Who would enjoy this? Anyone who likes reading about how families work, sometimes well and sometimes badly.
