The Prime Minister Problem

When a lonely boy’s mission to save his grandmother goes viral, it sparks a movement that reshapes his country town—and everyone in it.

Ten-year-old Wren has always felt invisible. Mum is busy working two jobs, his brother has his own life, and at school, Wren hides in the library with the books his grandmother taught him to love. Grandma is the only person who truly sees him—until she has a stroke and is forced to move away to a nursing home in the city.

Lonelier than ever, Wren writes to the Prime Minister for help. When no reply comes, his small act of hope takes on a life of its own—and Wren discovers he isn’t the only one who feels forgotten. As his town rallies around him, Wren learns that real solutions don’t come from politicians, but from the people who call the town home.

A moving story about isolation, connection, and how one quiet voice can make a difference—echoing the warmth of Old People’s Home for 4 Year Olds and the emotional honesty of Aster’s Good, Right Things.
