About this listen
Becket Rumsey is all at sea. His dad has run away with him and his brother, Billy, in the middle of the night. And they've left everything behind, including their almost-mum, Pearl.
Becket has no idea what's going on - it's a mystery. So with the help of Billy and a snail called Brian, Becket sets out on a journey of discovery. It's not plain sailing, but then what journeys ever are?

Any additional comments?
It goes to show that not all books involving children are all sweetness and light, fluffy stories. I found myself getting angry at times with the dad, and sick of Billy and his obsession with snails. I also felt that the dad wasn't a good dad and Social services should've been involved. I didn't always find it an easy listen and it is certainly a book that explores how the minds of children work and The author wasn't afraid to go to dark places.

Amazing
I like the fact that they are solving all the parents problems and that its saying when one isn’t many there that they are actually with us the part that is weird is the fact that you need the naked part
