Alan Silberberg- Milo & the Restart Button
A$3.00
CONDITION- FAIR
Milo is nearly 13, has just moved house and started a new school (both
for the umpteenth time) - him and his dad and sister are trying to
adjust to life without Milo's mum, who has died, but they aren't coping
very well and no-one is really talking about it. It's not all doom and
gloom though, I promise. It's a tough subject, but dealt with a light
touch and plenty of sparky humour - it's actually really, really funny,
and interspersed throughout with cartoon illustrations that provide
easier access to the tough issues and engage readers in a different way.
The book is never heavy or preachy - sensitive and sad, yes, but
ultimately a hugely entertaining read.
