About this ebook

Loveable thirteen-year-old geek Milo Cruikshank finds reasons for frustration at every turn, from the annoying habits of his neighbors to his futile efforts to get Summer Goodman to realize his existence. The truth is, ever since Milo’s mother died, nothing has gone right. Now instead of the kitchen being full of music, his whole house has been filled with Fog. Nothing’s the same. Not his Dad. Not his sister. And definitely not him. Milo achieves a rare and easy balance of poignancy and awkward, natural humor, making it deeply accessible—this is the kind of book that can change lives.

Ratings and reviews

How does a kid come to grips with the death of their mother? That is exactly what this book is about. The fact the author has found a humorous way to help deal with the tough topic of the death of a parent is amazing in itself. This book is a creative look through Milo's eyes at his life since his mother's death. The added benefits of reading this book, its healing effects are just gravy on top. I think with the recent death of one of our teachers this may give some students still dealing with that a little better perspective.

i find the book really funny, but the ending is really emition and sad!!!!!!! Milo is really hilarous as well and hi sisters really mean at the begining

This is the best book i've read ever since. Must read this sticky notes and brain freeze.
