I hate to say this, but i was honestly relived to finish this book. I really really wanted to like it but i just didnt. none of the characters were likeable except for the mum at the very end, the writing style was confusing and i had to read a lot of parts multiple times, and the whole book was just overall boring. i kept wondering what the plot was going to be, and waiting for something to happen, but nothing really happened.

A story of a boy and his family coping with the unresolved death of his father. I thought it was cleverly written and I loved the astronomy throughout.
Recommended for Year 7 +
Possibly a good NZ read a loud

Loss of a parent can do funny things to a kid. Tut has all my sympathy and hugs. He deserves all the good things.

Tuttle is holding everything together – at least he’s trying to. His dad was a famous mountain climber who didn’t return from his last expedition. The only thing that did return was news that Tuttle’s father left his client alone on the mountain to die.
No-one really knows what happened, but living with this news and their loss is hard. Mum spends too many hours alone in her room or asleep, leaving Tuttle to look after his little brother Fen who also spends most of his hours alone in his room.
Tuttle’s one escape is the stars. He spends a lot of his leisure time at the local observatory or trying to look through his own telescope from home. Trying, because the boy next door spends all his spare time tinkering with his car, revving it loudly and flooding Tuttle’s back yard with light from the shed.
Tuttle’s frustration and worries escalate with all that lays on his shoulders. And now there’s a snooping reporter and social worker to deal with. Can he hold his family together?
Fans of astronomy and myths and how they are connected will enjoy this story about this grieving family. The friendship between Tuttle and his mate Attila is humourous as they ‘bounce’off each other, together and online, and Tuttle’s inner turmoil is well written. Authentic kiwi fiction.
