Ro and Marcus have swapped London Life for a cottage in a peaceful
country village. They want a safe, peaceful environment for their
young son. At least, Marcus does. Secretly, Ro wonders how she'll
cope with cowpats and livestock. What Marcus and Ro agree on is the
fact that their son isn't like most boys of his age. Tod is
obsessed with mazes. He designs them, dreams about them, demands to
visit them. When a newcomer threatens the 'best-kept' village
status by allowing his garden to grow wild, Marcus starts a log of
the lawn's height and condition. As the newcomer becomes the first
friend her son has ever had, Ro is faced with a life-changing
decision... Wonderboy is a story about what happens when a couple
downshifts to the country, with a child who is scared of any animal
bigger than a hamster. Can marriage survive when a man buys his
wife a hoe for her birthday? And is the countryside any place to
bring up a kid?
