AUSTRALIAN. Tom and Jordy have been living with their gran since the day their mother, Loretta, left them on her doorstep and disappeared.Now Loretta's returned, and she wants her boys back.Tom and Jordy hit the road with Loretta in her beat-up car. The family of three journeys across the country, squabbling, bonding, searching and reconnecting.But Loretta isn't mother material. She's broke, unreliable, lost. And there's something else that's not quite right with this reunion.They reach the west coast and take refuge in a beachside caravan park. Their neighbour, a surly old man, warns the kids to stay away. But when Loretta disappears again the boys have no choice but to ask the old man for help, and now they face new threats and new fears.This beautifully written and gripping debut is as moving as it is frightening, and as heartbreaking as it is tender.
