Boy in the Suit

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

In the cost of living crisis, this huge-hearted, generous, empathetic book has never been more timely. Ten-year-old Solo - embarrassingly, that isn't short for anything - just wants to be normal. He wants a name that doesn't stand out. He wishes he had a proper school uniform that fitted him. He dreams about a mum who doesn't get The Big Bad Reds, like his mum Morag. But most of all he longs to stop crashing funerals for the free food. But when Solo and Morag crash the funeral of a celebrity and get caught, the press are there to witness their humiliation. The next day it's splashed across the papers. Before Solo knows it, he becomes a viral sensation, and life may never be normal again. What follows is Solo's uphill pursuit of security, and connection, while navigating circumstances far beyond his control.
