What do you get when you cross a painfully awkward boy, some lofty comedic ambition and a dead best friend? Answer- Norman Foreman. Norman and Jax are a legendary comedy duo in the making, with a five-year plan to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe by the time they' re fifteen. But then Jax dies before they even turn twelve. Norman' s mum Sadie knows she won' t win Mother of the Year anytime soon, and she really doesn' t know, or care, who Norman' s father is. But her heart is broken when she discovers her grieving son' s revised plan- ' Find Dad' and ' Get to the Edinburgh Fringe' . If meeting his dad and performing at the Festival are the two things that will help Norman through this devastating time, then Sadie is going to make them happen. So mother and son set off from Cornwall, with their friend Leonard in his vintage Austin Maxi, on a pilgrimage to Edinburgh - to honour Jax and to track down a few maybe-fathers on the way . . .
Julietta Henderson has been writing professionally for more than 25 years and her work has appeared in books and publications in the US, UK and Australia. Brought up in a book-loving family in the rainforests of North Queensland, she has worked her way through jobs as diverse as bicycle tour guide in Tuscany, nanny in the Italian Alps, breakfast waitress in the wilds of Scotland, gallery manager in Australia and editor for a photographic publishing company. Like many Australians, her love affair with Europe began when she came to London on a working holiday for a year and stayed for more than a decade. Julietta divides her life between her home town of Melbourne, the UK and wherever else she can find winter.
