This book tells the story of Joe. His birth mother abused alcohol, he had to be cared for by his grandmother and then foster carers before he moved into an adoptive family. Beside having to move families, Joe also had to move school four times. Joe is supported with his difficult feelings by his adoptive mother and by making friends at his new school. This book sensitively explores how a child manages multiple losses, his worries about significant people in his past and his concern that he may be to blame for events.
