Title: The 10 p.m Question
Author: Kate De Goldi
Genre: New Zealand Literature
Could that kidney shaped spot on his chest be a galloping cancer? Are the smoke alarm batteries flat? Has his cat, The Fat Controller, given them all worms?
Twelve year old Frankie Parsons is very talented and imaginative young boy. He suffers from "a voice of anxiety" and the only person who listens, who believes is Ma.
The new girl at school is flattering, energetic and has many questions of her own. Frankie’s secured world begins to unravel, leading him to a painful confrontation with the ultimate 10 p.m. question.
Did you enjoy it? I found it hard to get into.
