Us Minus Mum has been longlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2015 and
shortlisted for the UKLA Book Awards 2015. Heart-warming as well as
heart-breaking, it is the story of two brothers and their lovable
mongrel finding laughter in the face of loss. George and Theo's mum
is brilliant. She tells great stories, can wave the fastest of
anyone on the planet and, most importantly, she was the one who
suggested they adopt a scruffy dog called Goffo. The boys think
she's invincible. But they're wrong. Because Mum is ill. Really
ill. It's up to George and Theo to keep Mum smiling. Which will
almost probably definitely involve wellies, shepherd's pie and
Goffo's victory at the pet talent show . . . 'a perfectly-judged,
wonderfully-observed story of coming to terms with the loss of a
parent and coping with grief. It's also a funny and delightful
portrait of a family that is probably different from your family,
but just like it, too. I loved it and heartily recommend it to
every single reader of 9 and up.' The Bookbag
