Description
An honest and heart-warming tale of family, growing up and 'difference' from prize-winning author Sita Brahmachari, set over the course of one life-changing day. Tender-hearted and necessary, this gem of a teen novel is a rollercoaster ride for the heart. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+
Hudson is a skilled reader of books, but not so much with people. Mum's new bloke Louis is keen to help, and in turn, Hudson passes on what he learns to future sibling Zed (for zygote). This all comes in useful at granddad's funeral as Hudson deals with grief, his dad's feelings of guilt, and his own sadness about his parents' separation.
Hudson's self-awareness about his Asperger's and how it affects him (and others) gives him a distinctive and insightful voice that offers an astute and ultimately uplifting take on the world. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 12+

About the Author
Sita Brahmachari was brought up in the Lake District by an Indian doctor father and an English nurse mother, and her parents' life stories and care for others inform her hugely sensitive and socially aware writing. After a career in theatre, her debut novel, Artichoke Hearts, won the 2011 Waterstones Children's Book Prize. Sita lives and writes in North London with her husband, three children, and Billie the dog, and is also involved in numerous charity projects. Louise Wright specialises in stuttering therapy and lectures at Manchester Metropolitan University.
