She may be 104 years old, but Ona Vitkus is on a mission and it's
all because of THE ONE-IN-A-MILLION-BOY... Monica Wood's
unforgettable novel about a boy in a million and the 104-year-old
woman who saves his family is not to be missed by readers who loved
THE UNLIKELY PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY, ELIZABETH IS MISSING or THE
SHOCK OF THE FALL. 'A lovely, quirky novel about misfits across
generations' Daily Mail 'A bittersweet story about finding
friendship in the most unlikely of places' Good Housekeeping. The
story of your life never starts at the beginning. Don't they teach
you anything at school? So says 104-year-old Ona to the 11-year-old
boy who's been sent to help her out every Saturday morning. As he
refills the bird feeders and tidies the garden shed, Ona tells him
about her long life, from first love to second chances. Soon she's
confessing secrets she has kept hidden for decades. One Saturday,
he doesn't show up. Ona starts to think he's not so special after
all, but then his father Quinn arrives on her doorstep, determined
to finish his son's good deed. The boy's mother is not so far
behind. Ona is set to discover that even at her age the world can
surprise you, and that sometimes sharing a loss is the only way to
find yourself again. What readers are saying about ONE IN A MILLION
BOY: 'Delightful, quirky and heart-warming' 'A richly layered novel
of hearts broken seemingly beyond repair and then bound by a
stunning act of human devotion' 'With heart-breaking and emotional
moments intertwined with humour and love, THE ONE IN A MILLION BOY
proves it's never too late to make new friends'
