I won a review copy from The little book café on twitter so thank you very much!

This is a very different insightful read, it reminded me of wonder as it tells a story  from the mind of a young boy .A boy who sees the world differently .

It is honest and heartwarming .

The cover is really intriguing and eye catching .

You meet a variety of charactars in this book and they all have a story to tell of loss love and heartache.

We get to see first hand the inappropriate way eldery people are treated in a nursing home which is heart-breaking but do not fear as Milo is on the case!!

Very cleverly written .
