Frankie Parsons is twelve and already worries like an old man: about dead batteries in the smoke alarm, worms in the cat, a mark on his skin that might be cancer. Everyone else in his lively family, and his best friend Gigs, seems carefree; only Ma hears out his late-night anxieties. Yet his deepest fear concerns Ma herself, and he can never voice it. When a girl new to his school starts pressing him with blunt questions, the tidy defences Frankie has built begin to give way.
