A funny, poignant and unforgettable novel about Frank — one of the most lovable and unusual characters you'll ever meet.
For some boys fitting in means standing out Meet Frank — he isn't like other kids. Intrepid explorer, sartorial connoisseur; he's as strange as he is brilliant. But Frank discovers the hard way that people don't like brilliant and they hate strange. What Frank longs for — aside from a father — is a friend.
Meet Mimi — a reclusive literary legend and mother to Frank. Mimi has been holed up in her Bel Air mansion for years, keeping her secrets and hiding Frank from a cruel world. Until Alice.
Meet Alice — the level-headed young woman charged with looking after Mimi's unusual son. In so doing, Alice discovers what it really means to love someone. And she finds a part of herself she never knew was missing.
Funny, poignant and unforgettable, this novel — like Frank — is a one-off creation you'll fall in love with.
