Dan Hope has a list of ten wishes. Number 1 is for a new sister. Number 6 is for a swimming pool full of Coco Pops. And number 10 is for a dad who loves him.
Since his dad ran off with the lady from the chip shop, Dan's life has gone a bit strange, what with his sister acting mean and Mum's new boyfriend keeping secrets. And now - even stranger - his dad has turned up as a presenter on tV. So Dan decides to sort out his messy, muddled, madcap family, starting with getting his dad back. But as one genius plan after another goes pear-shaped, Dan fears that his most important wish will never come true... Until he starts to realize that sometimes your real family aren't always the people you share your name with.Buy A Boy Called Hope by Lara Williamson from Australia's Online Independent Bookstore, BooksDirect.
