This is a humorous tale about romance and nostalgia. Joe is seventy years old tomorrow, and he doesn't know, or even care. His wife, Stacey, the love of his life, walked out on Joe six years ago because of his unreasonable behaviour, always up in his little attic room, gazing out at the universe through his telescope and charting the stars, whilst getting totally drunk every night. So now all alone, he spends all his nights with just his stars and a bottle for company. That is, until Joe is visited by his old best pal from high school, Chad Dablusie, on the eve of his seventieth birthday and persuaded to try and get back with the love of his life, the one person he still loves and misses, his true love Stacey. A double murder provides the backdrop to this emotional roller coaster of a story, sprinkled with affection between two old buddies, sending out a profound message, the true bond of friendship never dies. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This endearing picture book about making the most of any situation is also a heartfelt and meaningful portrait of houselessness that’s just right for young children. Sometimes it’s hard to stay positive: when you live in an old school bus instead of a normal house; when you have mostly just bread and ketchup to eat; and especially when you have to go to a new school where all the other kids already have friends. But the sweet and creative boy in this story discovers that he can do things he never thought possible, by using the skills his parents have taught him: imagining . . . and trying . . . and finding a way to look on the bright side. This honest, accessible, and compassionate story is based on the author’s own childhood. Its message about resourcefulness and courage will resonate with every reader.
