I planted a Honeycrisp apple tree almost three years ago. It was about 3 feet tall from the local nursery. I dug a big hole, and did all the things I should. The first year deer almost killed it be eating all the new growth. Last Spring we got some stinky deer spray and the have left it alone, but ever since it's not thriving.

Jordan's gained a dog out of it all as extra company, but his school colleagues' taunts, his eczema, and his laziness are all providing problems. So much so that his mother would spin in her grave - if she wasn't having a more fun time there already. From the unusual start of a boy and mother separated in such a unique way we actually get a book firmly grounded in the everyday.

We realistically see Jordan's school life, his outlet in angling just as his grandad taught him, and his delaying all housework while there's only his older brother, his workaholic father and what gossip his mother hears to inspire him to change his bedding. Jordan in fact is very different from much fiction for this age range - eight to twelve, at a guess - in that he is very much true to life.

He has his skin problems, nightmares, his idle-itis, his natural weakness when facing other people none of which, we see, are helped by mother's absence , and they all go to show his life very well. All characters are fully-rounded, in fact, even including the cameos of his mother stuck at the end of a pair of tubes as she is. That record attempt has itself been thought about - from her iPod and simple exercises, to the fact she needs a second tube to ventilate her accommodation to keep it cool enough.
