About this ebook
Robin's life has taken an unexpected turn. There's nine-year-old Prosper, with his strange questions and uncertain future. There's Smelly Joe, setting up home under a tree. There's a resident ghost. And there's an unwanted gift from Robin's mother. This isn't the kind of gift you can recycle, or hide in a drawer. This is an abandoned asylum. A tale of eccentric relatives, lost friends, surprising love stories and the small insanities of everyday life.
