"Charming, warm and uplifting...there is so much to love about this book."âLaurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This is How It Always Is A triumphant and touching debut about the unlikeliest superstar youâll ever meet. Twelve-year-old Norman Foreman and his best friend, Jax, are a legendary comedic duo in waiting, with a plan to take their act all the way to the Edinburgh Fringe. But when Jax dies, Norman decides the only fitting tribute is to perform at the festival himself. The problem is, Normanâs not the funny one. Jax was. Thereâs also another, far more colossal objective on Normanâs new plan that his single mom, Sadie, wasnât ready for: he wants to find the father heâs never known. Determined to put a smile back on her boyâs face, Sadie resolves to face up to her own messy past, get Norman to the Fringe and help track down a man whose identity is a mystery, even to her. Julietta Hendersonâs delightfully funny and tender debut takes us on a road trip with a mother and son who will live in the readerâs heart for a long time to come, and teaches us thatâno matter the oddsâwe must always reach for the stars.
